Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Chelsea 2-2 Ipswich Town. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Jadon Sancho 79', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Chelsea led Shots on target 9-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Chelsea also shaded Total shots 34-13.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Chelsea the favourite at 83.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
