Burnley hold Ipswich 1-1 at Portman Road

Ipswich were denied a second successive Championship win by a last-gasp Clarke Carlisle goal at Portman Road. It looked for a long time as though there would be no goals between two sides that had impressed on the opening weekend of the season. Burnley were then reduced to 10 men following David Edgar's dismissal in the 79th minute and Ipswich appeared to have picked up all three points when David Norris struck with just four minutes remaining. However, Carlisle salvaged a 1-1 draw for Burnley with a header in the 90th minute. Roy Keane handed Spurs winger Andros Townsend an instant debut after arriving on loan on Thursday but captain Jon Walters was not in the squad as speculation continues to link him with a move to Stoke. Ipswich forward Tamas Priskin fired over in a lively start before Townsend ended a mazy dribble with a shot which he dragged wide. Both sides were struggling to get their passing game in order but it was the visitors who came close to an opener in the 25th minute.

Brilliant

Captain Graham Alexander and Dean Marney combined well in midfield to release the overlapping Ross Wallace down the left flank. Wallace surged into the area before picking out Wade Elliott on the stretch but his shot was brilliantly tipped over the crossbar by Fulop. Wallace and Townsend traded long-range strikes as the half drew to a disappointing close. Keane made a change at the break, with midfielder Grant Leadbitter replaced by Colin Healy. Healy was into the action quickly as he did well to block a Marney strike on the edge of the area as the Clarets slowly took control of the midfield battle. Elliott did well to buy a yard of space on the right and from his deep cross Martin Paterson was able to flick a header narrowly wide. Ipswich were fired into life and Jon Stead saw his low cross-shot hacked off the line by Edgar - who then blotted his copybook by getting sent off.
Breakthrough
Edgar had been booked in the first period by referee Grant Hegley and saw red with 11 minutes left for a trip on Norris. And Norris finally broke the deadlock with four minutes left. Healy delivered a deep corner from the right and when Stead guided a header down into the danger area, Norris was able to flick in from in front of Brian Jensen for his third goal of the week. But the Clarets stole a point in stoppage time when Carlisle thundered in a header from Alexander's corner.
