Climbing to ninth place in the Premier League table after six matches, Ipswich Town sit six points behind leaders Manchester City, while Fulham remain near the foot of the standings, thirteen points off the summit. R. Sessegnon broke the deadlock for the visitors in the 55th minute, but a late turnaround shifted the contest as A. Ouattara equalised in the 88th minute before D. O'Shea converted a 90th-minute winner, assisted by J. Clarke. Standout performers included joint highest-rated players A. Ouattara and D. O'Shea, both earning a 7.9 rating for the hosts, alongside Sander Berge who received a 7.9 for the visitors.
