Charlton Athletic 1-2 Ipswich Town: Tractor Boys boost promotion bid with comeback win

Ipswich had the worst away record of any side in the top 10 before kick-off but will be delighted with their first comeback win on the road this season.

It moves them back above Millwall, who slip to third place, with both sides level on points but the Tractor Boys boasting a far superior goal difference.

Perhaps more importantly, Ipswich still have a game in hand, which puts them in the driving seat to go up alongside champions Coventry.

Town could not have got off to a worse start when Johnson, in at left-back for the injured Leif Davis, was punished to the maximum for his underhit pass inside.

Campbell drove into the box and his angled effort forced Christian Walton to parry into the path of the onrushing Docherty, who put away his first goal for more than a year via a slight deflection off Dara O’Shea.

An energetic Charlton, buoyed by their quickfire opener, made life difficult for Ipswich in the early stages and it took the visitors 15 minutes to have their first shot of the game as Philogene bobbled a volley harmlessly wide at the back post.

But from then on, Ipswich took control and were rewarded when Philogene led a quick break before laying the ball to Azor Matusiwa, who teed up Furlong on the edge of the box to place with precision into the far corner.
