Martyn Waghorn, David McGoldrick and Bersant Celina all scored, helping to bring Ipswich Town up to seventh in the Championship table with a game in hand.

The game got off to a slow start, according to our chief football writer Stuart Watson, but Waghorn’s first goal just before the whistle helped to set the pace for the second half.

Stuart says: “You can’t underestimate how important this victory was for the overall mood.”
