Ipswich’s O’Shea and and Outtara stun Fulham with last-gasp comeback win

· Guardian-PL

Ipswich produced a dramatic turnaround to beat Fulham 2-1 after late goals by Abdoul Ouattara and Dara O’Shea extended Álvaro Arbeloa’s winless start to six Premier League matches. The former Real Madrid manager had been on course to toast a maiden league victory in charge of the Cottagers after Ryan Sessegnon’s sweet 55th-minute strike put the visitors ahead. It would have eased the pressure on Arbeloa, but the Spaniard watched his team collapse with Ouattara producing a spectacular 30-yard equaliser with two minutes left before O’Shea, the Ipswich captain, headed home in stoppage time to spark wild celebrations at Portman Road.

A third win of the campaign for Gary O’Neil’s men has them up to ninth in the table.
