Sheffield Wednesday beat Ipswich Town 2-1 at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, a result that owed much to a frantic second half in which both sides exchanged substitutes and momentum in roughly equal measure.
The first forty-five minutes passed without a goal, though the game had enough shape to suggest Wednesday were the more settled side. Ipswich looked cautious in possession and offered little going forward before the interval.
The second half changed everything. Wes Burns gave Ipswich the lead almost immediately after the restart, and when he added a second on 57 minutes, the visitors appeared to be in control. Tayo Adaramola was booked in that same spell, and Wednesday were being outrun in midfield. Sean Fusire and Jarvis Thornton came on in quick succession as Danny Röhl looked to shift the picture.
Wednesday pulled one back through Iván Azón on 66 minutes, the same minute that Jack Taylor and Chuba Akpom were introduced and Joel Ndala made way. From that point, the home side pressed with greater urgency, and Jaden Philogene's arrival on 74 minutes added width and pace to the attack.
Azón got the equaliser on 78 minutes and Wednesday completed the turnaround before the end, with late changes from both benches including Devlan Moses, Nathaniel Chalobah, Jack Clarke, William Grainger and Marvelous Nakamba doing little to alter the final outcome. Wednesday held on to take all three points.
