EPL: Iwobi, Bassey’s Fulham remain winless after 2-1 defeat to Ipswich

Fulham suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Saturday, extending their winless streak to six matches. The hosts took the lead through Ryan Sessegnon just 10 minutes into the second half, capitalizing on a low drive from Alex Iwobi. Ipswich fought back, with Emersonn coming close to scoring with a header against the post.

Just before halftime, Daizen Maeda appeared to be fouled inside the box, but the referee did not award a penalty. Ipswich pressed for an equalizer in the second half and secured a late winner in the 88th minute when Abdoul Ouattara scored from 25 yards out. Fulham's captain, Dara O’Shea, headed in a set-piece in the 92nd minute, but it was too little too late.

The result leaves Fulham in the relegation zone with just two points from six matches, putting additional pressure on manager Álvaro Arbeloa, who is still searching for his first victory in charge. Ipswich's victory marked their third league win of the season, propelling them to ninth place in the Premier League standings. Fulham will need to address their defensive issues quickly as they strive to turn their struggling season around.
