Ipswich Town 3-4 Leeds United highlights: £70m front four all score in seven-goal thriller
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites are set to welcome Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra back into the squad this weekend after the pair spent the past two weeks training individually due to off-field matters.
Manager Daniel Farke confirmed during his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon that he had spoken with the attacking pair and decided it was suitable for them to be reintegrated with the first-team group, despite outgoing transfer speculation and the submission of a transfer request in Gnonto’s case.

Ipswich Town vs Leeds United LIVE
HT: Ipswich 2-3 Leeds United
No defending, just vibes. In all seriousness, though, Leeds have been ruthless in attack but a bit questionable at the back. Making for a really entertaining game.
GOAL. Ipswich get one back 3-2
45’ Meslier not quick enough to a ball right at the edge of his penalty area, Jackson nicks it and gets to the byline. Cuts back for Broadhead closing in whilst French ‘keeper still in no man’s land. Seemed like a miscommunication with his defenders brought the chance about.
Look like scoring, a lot of goals...
45+4’ Sharp intake of breath from the home supporters whenever Leeds attack in number. Sinisterra, Piroe and Rutter already linking up really nicely. Gnonto then takes one down on the outside of his boot, gets overexcited and balloons it into the stand.
45’ Burns shoots from the right-hand side of Leeds’ penalty area after Ipswich work the ball to him quite impressively. Leeds need to keep tabs on Broadhead who keeps finding space to roam and pick up the ball between the lines.
Entertaining game
44’ Broadhead lets fly from the edge of Meslier’s box but shot runs past the post. Ipswich very much in this contest, despite Leeds’ two-goal advantage.
Getting joy down the sides
41’ Burns runs in behind Drameh, who recovers to make a fine challenge in the area. Leeds have complained to the lino on this side about missed offside calls on a number of occasions. Couldn’t tell on that one.
