Fulham remain winless in the Premier League under Alvaro Arbeloa after Ipswich stung them with two late goals in a 2-1 win.
The game looked there for the taking for the visitors after Ryan Sessegnon fired them into the lead, rifling the ball into the bottom corner from 25 yards. Three minutes later both teams squandered chances, with Emersonn heading against a post for Ipswich after a wonderful Julio Enciso cross before Oscar Bobb blazed over for Fulham.
Arbeloa was minutes away from a first league win, but Abdoul Ouattara produced a 30-yard thunderbolt into the bottom corner after 88 minutes. Dara O'Shea then headed home Clarke's free-kick in the first minute of stoppage time, completing the turnaround for Town. Gonzalo Garcia and Bobb had both squandered big chances earlier when Fulham were ahead.
For newly promoted Ipswich, it was their third win of the Premier League campaign. Fulham will spend another week in the relegation zone with only two points from six league games, now seven points behind Ipswich. Sky Sports' Lewis Jones argues that Arbeloa must learn quickly to survive, noting that Fulham's decision to retreat in the closing stages proved costly.
