Brentford 4-3 Ipswich: Clarke has afternoon to forget
- Published
The Tractor Boys have lost 10 points from winning positions in the league this season as they fell to a late defeat against Brentford.
They had to play the last 21 minutes with 10 men after Harry Clarke was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Keane Lewis-Potter.
The pair were in a battle throughout the game and Lewis-Potter came out on top on multiple occasions. Clarke's first yellow card was for hauling down Lewis-Potter in the box and conceding a penalty.
He also scored an own goal to level the scoring at 2-2 before being sent off on his second appearance in the competition.
Clarke became just the second player in Premier League history to score an own goal, concede a penalty and be sent off in the same match after Jan Bednarek with Southampton against Manchester United in February 2021.
Ipswich are winless across their first nine matches of the 2024-25 Premier League season (D4 L5), their longest ever such run at the start of a top flight campaign.
