Ipswich Town 2-0 Stoke City: Promoted Tractor Boys beat Potters to claim second win

All five of Luke Woolfenden's goals for Ipswich Town have come at Portman Road

Promoted Ipswich Town scored a goal in each half as they made it two Championship wins from two by beating Stoke City at Portman Road.

Both sides had followed up opening-day victories by winning in the EFL Cup in midweek.

But Ipswich duly made made it three wins in eight days with goals from defender Luke Woolfenden and substitute Kayden Jackson.

In their first home league game since winning promotion back to the second tier from League One, Ipswich proved too good for former Norwich City boss Alex Neil's Potters.

Ipswich were good value for their lead, having gone close before they scored through Burns, who had an early fierce shot tipped over by keeper Mark Travers before Chaplin's snapshot flew past the left post.

Enda Stevens then fouled Burns to give away a free-kick on 23 minutes and Sam Morsy crossed for Woolfenden to head into the bottom left corner on 23 minutes.

Stoke boss Neil made his first substitution in the 34th minute, replacing Wolves loanee Chiquinho with Brazilian forward Wesley.

And the visitors then had their first attempt on goal shortly after, when Josh Laurent fired wide from range before Ipswich keeper Vaclav Hladky raced off his line to clear, then kept the ball out with his trailing arm after Stevens had cut the ball back for Daniel Johnson.

Stoke pressed for an equaliser, with a shot by Ben Wilmot but, after Burns' low shot was gathered at the second attempt and George Hirst's angled effort was beaten away, Ipswich killed the game off with their second.

On 82 minutes, he latched on to Chaplin's low cross following incisive work from Wales international Burns.

Ipswich now travel to QPR next Saturday, when Stoke host Watford.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna:

"It was a top performance, no doubt about it. I loved the way we stuck to our identity on and off the ball. We were brave in how we played.

"We played with the intensity, quality, spirit, resilience and threat that we want to have. It was an excellent performance in so many different ways.

"Of course there are areas to improve and we're learning from every game at the moment. We learnt an awful lot from Sunderland last week and we'll learn from this and look to improve.

"There's going to be spells in every game where we have to dig in. We have to put our bodies on the line and try to defend and block well. What was really important was the way we kept playing. It was our bravery on the ball that turned the game."

Stoke City boss Alex Neil:

"The first thing that you have got to do is give Ipswich credit. They were better than us.

"When you come to places like this that first game is a great party atmosphere. Everybody is at their peak. The team's been playing really well, and they added a couple of bits and bobs throughout the summer to try and get them better.

"The first time we give the ball away cheaply on two separate occasions, what happens? The crowd gets up.

"What you need to do is to take the sting out of the game and you need to make sure you quieten the crowd and take the game away from them."
