Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Southampton 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 Jack Clarke 87', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ipswich Town led Shots on target 4-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ipswich Town also shaded Corners 5-9.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Southampton the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
