Chelsea's Champions League hopes falter with 2-2 draw against Ipswich

Chelsea faced a disappointing 2-2 draw against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, jeopardizing their Champions League qualification hopes. Despite starting strong, Chelsea fell behind to Ipswich with two first-half goals from Julio Enciso and Ben Johnson. The hosts responded after halftime with an own goal from Axel Tuanzebe and a stunning equalizer from substitute Jadon Sancho in the 79th minute. Chelsea's Robert Sanchez received harsh criticism for his poor distribution, contributing to the team's struggles throughout the match. The result keeps Chelsea in fifth place, but they remain at risk of falling out of the Champions League spots as Newcastle trails closely. Ipswich, meanwhile, remains in 18th place, deep in the relegation zone with little hope of survival.
