Ipswich's relegation scenario was predicted from the previous round, when Coach McKenna's team was 15 points behind the safe zone. In a desperate attempt to survive, the Portman Road team still had to say goodbye to the highest league in England 4 matches early.
After 34 matches, Ipswich has only 21 points, ranking 18th, 15 points behind the team above them, West Ham, while there are only 4 rounds left in the season.
The 2024/25 Premier League is the second consecutive season in which all three promoted teams will return to the Championship. In the 2023/24 season, Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield will also be relegated, after only one season in the Premier League.
Ipswich parted ways with the Premier League. |
At St James' Park, Ipswich could only defend against Newcastle's relentless attacks. The turning point came in the 37th minute, when the visitors were down to 10 men, after Benjamin Johnson was sent off.
The home team took advantage of the extra man to increase the pressure and scored the opening goal in the 45+4 minute. Alexander Isak kicked coolly from the penalty spot. The Swedish striker scored his 22nd goal in the Premier League, a record only behind Mohamed Salah (27 goals).
Early in the second half, Dan Burn doubled Newcastle's lead with a close-range header. In the 84th minute, substitute William Osula sealed a 3-0 victory for the North East English team, also with a powerful aerial strike.
This result helped Newcastle rise to 3rd place in the rankings with 62 points, 2 points more than the 6th place team.
