Duo in Team of the Week - Ipswich Town News

Town duo Luke Woolfenden and Wes Burns have been named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Week for their displays in Saturday's 2-0 home victory over Stoke City, while the Blues centre-half is included in the EFL's overall Team of the Week.

Woolfenden nodded in the opening goal and was a key part of the defence which kept a clean sheet, while Burns crossed for Kayden Jackson to net Town's second to seal a second victory in two games.

The win saw the Blues equal a club record run of 20 matches undefeated in all competitions set in the 1980/81 season.

Also in this week's select XI was Stoke keeper Mark Travers, indicating that the Blues might well have won more comfortably.

Ex-Town midfielder Shane McLoughlin, now with Newport County, is also in the EFL Team of the Week.
