"What a moment. What a goal. What remarkable scenes as Ipswich Town celebrated taking the lead away at Manchester City with a superb, incisively flowing counter attack finished off by Sammie Szmodics.
Sam Morsy started it off, stealing the ball from Kevin De Bruyne on the edge of the Ipswich box. On it was moved to Omari Hutchinson, who sprinted forward, tapping a pass to Ben Johnson who found the impeccably timed late run of Szmodics, the new signing from Blackburn Rovers.
The sweet icing came in the finish, the ball hitting the inside of goalkeeper Ederson’s leg, trickling slowly across the line as the home crowd watched on aghast.
The noise that followed from the away end was like an explosion. There were limbs everywhere. A writhing mass of bodies leaping and jumping, arms pumping, strangers hugging.
It was a beautiful thing to witness, let alone experience for those who had made the trip across from Suffolk who were in the thick of it. Supporters, young and old, united in delirious celebration.
Back in the Premier League after a 22-year absence, this is what Ipswich had been looking forward to, this is what they wanted. Dreams are made of moments like these." |  |
