Conor Chaplin was the shortest man on the Portman Road pitch but rose higher than the rest to head Ipswich to a hard-fought 2-1 win against Sunderland at Portman Road.
Standing at 5ft 5in, most of Chaplin’s eight league goals this season have come from his wand of a right foot. But he was in the right place at the right time to head home his ninth of the campaign from a Leif Davies free-kick.
Chaplin’s winner stole the show on an evening that looked set to belong to Sunderland’s Jack Clarke.
