Ipswich is trending because Ipswich Town’s matches against Arsenal and Crystal Palace have produced two prominent stories: a Carabao Cup defeat featuring Max Dowman’s two goals and a late Premier League victory. Arsenal beat Ipswich 4-2 in the Carabao Cup third round, with Dowman scoring twice in his first appearance of the season. Much of the attention has focused on his performance, alongside Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s warning that the club must not rush his development.
Ipswich has also made headlines for coming from behind to beat 10-man Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park. Zian Flemming scored his first goal for Ipswich to secure the late victory, which was the club’s first Premier League away win since April 2025. Together, the coverage puts Ipswich at the centre of both a high-profile cup exit and a notable league result, with Dowman’s display and Flemming’s winner providing the main talking points.
