Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey watched in disappointment as Fulham fell 2-1 to Ipswich Town in a Premier League match on Saturday, extending their winless streak to six games. Fulham appeared to have taken the lead when Ryan Sessegnon struck in the 57th minute, finishing low from outside the penalty area. Álvaro Arbeloa's side took advantage of this early spark.
However, Ipswich refused to back down and mounted a spirited comeback in the final minutes. The hosts came close to an equalizer when an unmarked Emerson crashed a header against the crossbar. They were denied a penalty after Daizen Maeda was fouled inside the box. In the 88th minute, Abdoul Ouattara scored a decisive goal, putting Ipswich ahead.
Fulham pushed forward to try and win the match, but their late rally was not enough. The result leaves Fulham in the relegation zone with just two points from six matches, increasing pressure on Arbeloa as he looks for his first win as manager. Ipswich's victory marked their third league win of the season and lifted them to ninth place in the Premier League table.
