    It was a fabulous finish, it really was. It was sharp and accurate and it was past the goalkeeper in a flash.

  2. HALF-TIME

    Charlton 0-2 Ipswich

    It hasn't been the greatest of halves, but Ipswich have shown all the qualities of a true Mick McCarthy team - solid at the back and clinical up front.

    Daryl Murphy and Freddie Sears are the men to have Town in front at the break against a Charlton side who have offered very little other than a few sparks from Ademola Lookman.

  3. Charlton 0-2 Ipswich

    Charlton try to grab something at the end of the half, but a scramble in the Ipswich box comes to nothing, with no attacking player able to get a shot away.

    GOAL (Sears)

    Charlton 0-2 Ipswich

    Feddie Sears celebratesRex Features

    Ipswich have doubled their advantage and Freddie Sears, without a goal in his last 11 matches, is the man to get it.

    No-one tracks him as he looks to latch on to Luke Chambers' clipped ball forward, and when Patrick Bauer goes to close him down, all the defender can do is deflect the ball into his own net

  5. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Four minutes of time added on - presumably much of it for Johann Berg Gudmundsson's comical injury...

  6. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Ipswich's Ainsley Maitland-Niles is a name I haven't mentioned today, but the on-loan Arsenal youngster almost slips through Freddie Sears, but the ball is took long for the West Ham youth product and goes out for a goal kick.

    I think both sides just want the half-time whistle.

  7. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Charlton fans will be frustrated with their side's poor quality in the final third as Johann Berg Gudmundsson's cross is easily headed clear by Jonathan Douglas, before a poor pass out wide gifts Ipswich the ball back.

  8. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Charlton have the chance to put pressure on Ipswich with successive corners, but Ademola Lookman's second delivery is easily grabbed under the crossbar by Dean Gerken under no pressure whatsoever.

  9. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    At the other end, Charlton midfielder Jordan Cousins can't get enough power on Morgan Fox's cross and is easy for Dean Gerken to hold on to.

    The game is beginning to spark into life now. Maybe the shots of caffeine before the match are kicking in?

  10. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Daryl Murphy is a man to be feared at this level. The Ipswich striker flicks on to Brett Pitman and gets the ball back on the right-hand side, but his left-foot cross is just too high for the onrushing and in-form Jonathan Douglas.

    Sheer pressure has caused that goal. The ball was bobbling around in the area and loads of players have touched that before Murphy put it in.

  13. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Makienok is back on the pitch and is immediately involved, but Ipswich crowd him out as he looks to get a shot away on the edge of the area.

  14. Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    After that goal, Charlton striker Simon Makienok, currently on loan from Palermo, is getting treatment after his hand was stood on by Christophe Berra.

    There was no intent from the Scotland international, but the big striker looks in a lot of pain.

  15. goal

    GOAL (Murphy)

    Charlton 0-1 Ipswich

    Daryl Murphy scoresEmpics

    This goal wouldn't look out of place in a Sunday League match, but Ipswich won't care.

    Daryl Murphy has his fifth goal in three club matches as he finishes off a round of head tennis in the Charlton area, coming after Freddie Sears was denied brilliantly by keeper Stephen Henderson.

    Charlton may feel aggrieved by a hand off by Tommy Smith on an Addicks defender as he headed on to Murphy, though.

  16. Charlton 0-0 Ipswich

    Not sure if this is sympathetic from Ipswich or not...

  17. Charlton 0-0 Ipswich

    Charlton youngster Ademola Lookman has impressed so far this afternoon and he cuts inside from the left, easing past Luke Chambers, but his scuffs his shot and it creeps wide of the post.

  18. ouch!

    Charlton 0-0 Ipswich

    OUCH! That one is going to hurt.

    Tareiq Holmes-Dennis lines up a shot on the edge of the area, but absolutely blasts it at team-mate Johann Berg Gudmundsson from five yards away - right into the unmentionables.

    Ipswich get the ball back, but the ref decides to stop play and give Gudmundsson the chance to get his breath back.

  19. Charlton 0-0 Ipswich

    Charlton look dangerous on the break and after Brett Pitman loses the ball on the edge of the Addicks' area, the hosts counter with pace.

    But a low cross from Johann Berg Gudmundsson (his name's a nightmare for live text commentators) is cut out by Tommy Smith and Ipswich survive.

    That was a lovely shot from Freddie Sears. He's come in off the left side and hit it with the inside of his right foot. It was great skill and on target.
