Half-Time Report: Ipswich Town come from behind to take lead

Ipswich Town lead Leeds United 3-1 at the break despite falling a goal behind after just four minutes.

Ipswich Town have recovered from going down to an early goal to take a 3-1 lead into the break of their Championship game at home to Leeds United.

Despite Ipswich's recent good form, Leeds went ahead in the fourth minute when Mirco Antenucci turned home Stephen Warnock's cross.

However, their lead lasted less than 10 minutes as Daryl Murphy got the home side back on level terms with a precise header.

Only a brave block from Christophe Berra prevented Leeds from taking the lead almost immediately after Murphy's goal, while Jason Pearce threw his body in front of another effort from Murphy at the other end.

Antenucci was then denied by a good save from Bartosz Bialkowski before Paul Anderson was bundled over in the box by Warnock to hand Ipswich the chance to take the lead.

David McGoldrick made no mistake from the spot and fired Ipswich ahead for the first time in the game shortly before the half-hour mark.

Although McGoldrick fired another shot wide of the target, Murphy notched his second goal of the game with a cool finish in first-half stoppage time to put the Blues in control.
