Fulham remain winless in the Premier League under Alvaro Arbeloa after Ipswich stung them with two late goals in a 2-1 win.
The game was there for the taking for the visitors after Ryan Sessegnon fired them into a lead but Abdoul Ouattara equalised on 88 minutes before Dara O’Shea completed the turnaround in stoppage time for Town.
Arbeloa watched his team collapse after missing chances to seal the points when 1-0 up but Gonzalo Garcia and Oscar Bobb both squandered big opportunities.
After a low-quality first-half, Sessegnon controlled Issa Diop’s clearance and rifled the ball into the bottom corner from 25 yards to trigger the game into life. Three minutes later both teams squandered chances with Emersonn heading against a post from six yards for Ipswich after a wonderful Julio Enciso cross before Bobb blazed over at the other end seconds later.
Arbeloa was minutes away from a first league win but Ouattara produced a 30-yard thunderbolt into the bottom corner after 88 minutes before O’Shea headed home Jack Clarke’s free-kick in the first minute of stoppage time.
For newly-promoted Ipswich they picked up their third win of the Premier League campaign.
Fulham will spend another week in the relegation zone with only two points from six league games and they are now seven points behind Ipswich.
