Charlton Athletic Defeats Undefeated Ipswich Town 3-0 at Portman Road

Charlton Athletic secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Ipswich Town at Portman Road in the Sky Bet Championship, marking Ipswich's first home defeat of the season and Charlton's second away win. Despite Ipswich dominating the first half and hitting the crossbar, Charlton came alive in a pulsating three-minute spell early in the second half with goals from Sonny Carey, Macaulay Gillesphey, and substitute Miles Leaburn. Ipswich goalkeeper Alex Palmer was injured in the first half, replaced by Christian Walton, but Charlton's defense held firm while capitalizing on counter-attacks. Sonny Carey scored his fourth goal in seven games, and the solid defensive performance helped Charlton move to fifth place in the standings. Ipswich had several good chances in the first half, including efforts from Ivan Azon and Chuba Akpom, but were unable to convert, with Charlton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski making key saves. This result continues Charlton's strong recent form, winning four of their last six games, while Ipswich faced their second consecutive defeat.
