 Tractor Boys Earn First Win of the Season in Shock Success at Spurs

For the second time in three weeks, Tottenham were beaten by a team previously without a league win this season. Re-live Sunday’s action with the best facts and Opta data in our Tottenham vs Ipswich stats page.


Ipswich Town earned their first win of the season with a surprise 2-1 victory at Tottenham on Sunday, meaning every team in the Premier League has now recorded at least one win in 2024-25.

Sam Szmodics and Liam Delap gave Ipswich a 2-0 lead at the break, and though Rodrigo Bentancur pulled one back for Spurs with just over 20 minutes remaining, Kieran McKenna’s side held on for a famous win.

In front of a watching Ed Sheeran, it was Ipswich’s first victory in the Premier League since a 1-0 win vs Middlesborough in April 2002, and their first away win in the competition since beating Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park in February 2002, ending a run of 12 away games in the competition without a win (D3 L9).

Tottenham have now gone 1-0 down in 13 home Premier League matches in 2024. Only Spurs themselves in 1994 (14), Ipswich in 1994 (14) and Crystal Palace in 2017 (14) have done so in more home games in a single calendar year in the competition.
