Portsmouth 0-4 Ipswich: Paul Cook celebrates crushing victory on return to Fratton Park
Tuesday 19 October 2021 22:55, UK
Ipswich striker Conor Chaplin scored against his former club as Paul Cook celebrated his return to Portsmouth with a comprehensive 4-0 win.
Ipswich's top scorer Macauley Bonne, Sone Aluko and Wes Burns were also on target on a night when Portsmouth conceded four goals for the second game in a row.
Ipswich were gifted the lead four minutes before half time when goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu was caught dwelling on a Sean Raggett back pass, allowing Bonne to nip in and finish.
Pompey academy graduate Chaplin doubled that advantage nine minutes into the second half with a neat finish from Janoi Donacien's cross.
It was 3-0 four minutes later when Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Bazunu allowed Aluku's tame shot to squirm under his body and into the net.
