The ‘Eagles’, who have not won in four games, won away against an Ipswich Town team whose results and points do not do their game justice.
Ipswich, no luck
The ‘Tractors’ managed to salvage at least a point, but it fell short Jacob Greaves in the last minutes go to the crossbar and Mateta’s goal, Glasner’s talisman, remained.
The French attacker scored 16 goals last season and was key for Palace to escape unscathed.
This season has cost him more and this Tuesday was only his fourth goal in fourteen games.
Mateta decided
The Frenchman received a deep pass from Eberechi Eze, he got rid of his pair with speed and ease and at the exit of Arijanet Muric He beat it by hitting the ball.
The goal was enough to beat Ipswich, who after fourteen games have nine points and are second last, two away from safety. After defeating Tottenham Hotspur three games ago, the ‘Tractors’ have taken one point from the last nine.
