Ipswich Town vs Burnley live: Goal and score updates from FA Cup tie

28 Jan 2023
Ipswich Town vs Burnley

A meeting between the two sides with the most goals in the Football League promised plenty but, instead of a cup cracker it was a drab draw.

Burnley and Ipswich Town will meet again at Turf Moor in 10 days time after a 0-0 stalemate at Portman Road that was short on quality and clear cut chances. For the Clarets, it was a first goalless draw of the season and only the second time they had failed to score, following the 1-0 league reverse at Watford in August.

In truth, Burnley didn't deserve to win it against an Ipswich side that more than held their own. The home side began the game by far the brighter with George Hirst turning an effort wide on the stretch before Marcus Harness clipped the top of the bar. Sam Morsy also saw a shot well blocked by Clarets debutant Ameen Al-Dakhil as the hosts had the better of the first half chances.

Burnley struggled for rhythm with Jay Rodriguez lifting a shot over and seeing another blocked as the Clarets huffed and puffed in the opening half. They began the second on the front foot with Nathan Tella forcing a good save out of Vaclav Hladky before the Ipswich keeper palmed away a Rodriguez volley.

Vincent Kompany went to his bench and the changes, including a debut for new striker Lyle Foster, helped the Clarets earn control of the contest in the final quarter with another sub - Anass Zaroury - seeing a shot deflected just past the post. Both teams sought a winner in the closing stages with Ipswich asking more of the late questions but the two sides could not be separated.

Half time verdict

All square at the break, Ipswich have shaded it and had the better opportunities while Burnley have struggled to get going. Work to do

15:48Alex James

Let off

Jack Cork plays a shocker of a pass straight to Harness who advances in on goal but he ignores a runner and tries to beat a man and the chance is gone. Let off for Burnley

15:47Alex James

Analysis of half

Can see changes at HT or early in second half. Burnley lacking rhythm. Beyer on a booking & treading something of a tightrope, was replaced in similar circumstances at Coventry earlier in season. Midfield second best in central areas too

15:40Alex James

Booking

15:21Alex James

Half chance Burnley

Churlinov does well to feed into Jay Rod who, after a nice little step over to fashion some space, shoots high over the bar. First shot from the Clarets

15:14Alex James

Booking

Beyer carded for a shirt pull on half way as Ipswich look to counter

15:11Alex James

Ten gone

Burnley lacking a bit of composure at the moment, where usually they would control the ball and look to build in their defensive third, they are knocking it aimlessly long. Means Clarets have not been able to apply any control thus far

15:07Alex James

Crossbar

All Ipswich at the moment, Vitinho gives the ball away and after an Al-Dakhil recovery tackle the ball drops to Harness who hits the top of the bar with a clipped effort from the edge of the box

15:04Alex James

Let off for Burnley

It's down Taylor's side again, he gets to the ball ahead of Jackson but his pass back to BPF is a risky one and the keeper just about gets there in time to clear his lines

15:04Alex James

Hosts threaten

Charlie Taylor slips and Ipswich get away down the right in to the space. Low ball into the box is turned wide by George Hirst

15:03Alex James

Burnley shape

Clarets have Churlinov on the left opposite Tella. Al Dakhil is playing as the right sided centre half. Taylor at left back
