In an exciting match, Chelsea managed to come back from a two-goal deficit. Still, they’ll have to fight hard to secure a spot in the Champions League.What happens when you have a ton of chances and don’t take advantage of any of them? We think you already know the answer.The first chance of the match brought immediate excitement at Stamford Bridge. After a good cross from the wing, Nicolas Jackson took a shot but only managed to hit the post. Chelsea didn’t plan on stopping until they scored, so we quickly saw a chance for Enzo Fernandez, who shot over the goal following an assist from Cole Palmer. The home team’s string of missed chances continued—Noni Madueke had an opportunity after a pass from Pedro Neto, but from about 10 meters out he shot wide.🗣️ | Rio Ferdinand: “Gary Neville is probably the worst manager I’ve ever seen but even he would do a better job at Chelsea than Maresca.” pic.twitter.com/Ib3YVA908u— Just Bizarre Tactics (@JBTFooty) April 13, 2025 If you were watching the match on TV (or were lucky enough to be there live), you saw that Chelsea’s goal seemed imminent. There was a big chance for Colwill, who headed the ball toward goal, but the visitors’ goalkeeper, Alex Palmer, was alert and kept his net untouched.Now, let’s go back to the question at the beginning. What happens when you have a mountain of chances but don’t capitalize on any of them? Of course—you get punished.In the 19th minute, one of the rare Ipswich attacks began. Johnson made a good run down the right side, sent in a nice assist, and Enciso met it at the near post to beat Sanchez, shocking Stamford Bridge and putting Ipswich in the lead. There is the GOAL!JULI⚽️#CHEIPS pic.twitter.com/ZPvvJ53Vri— Ipswich Town (@IpswichTown) April 13, 2025 It was as if everything fell apart for Chelsea after Ipswich’s goal. To be fair, Chelsea continued pressing, but without success. On the other side, in the 30th minute, Cajuste took a shot for the visitors that went just wide.However, only seconds later, another shock hit the Blues’ stadium. The same two players were involved—this time, Enciso assisted Johnson, who headed the ball in from the right side and once again beat the home keeper. Initially, the goal was ruled offside, but after a VAR review, it was confirmed that Enciso wasn’t in an offside position. This is the GOAL!31′ It’s a role reversal as Enciso and Johnson combine again!The former delivers a lovely deep cross and Johnson is there to head back across goal and in. Brilliant!0-2 | #CHEIPS https://t.co/9bBGXesR2H— Ipswich Town (@IpswichTown) April 13, 2025 Before halftime, there was only one more notable chance—Madueke shot powerfully, but his effort was also wildly inaccurate, sending the ball over the bar.Exactly 18 seconds had passed since the start of the second half when we saw a goal from the home team. Noni Madueke made a great run down the right side and crossed the ball into the box, where Cucurella was the quickest to react and cut the visitors’ lead in half. You can se the goal HERE!One back!🔵 1-2 🚜 [46] #CFC | #CHEIPS pic.twitter.com/wIfVUo3fRW— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) April 13, 2025 Right after the goal, Hirst got a nice chance when his powerful shot went a little bit wide from the goal a Sanchez. This was a nice chance to bring it all back! Enciso was the player with really good mood in this game. He made a goal, an assist, and he was in the chance in 64th minute when his shoot finished in the Sanchez hands.Chelsea’s pressure was so intense that it felt like only a matter of time before a goal would come—and it finally did in the 79th minute. Jadon Sancho scored a beautiful goal to bring his team level and set the stage for a fiery finish to the match. There you can see the GOAL!Sancho finds the top corner, and we’re level!🔵 2-2 🚜 [79] #CFC | #CHEIPS https://t.co/557aXazsH9— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) April 13, 2025 Chelsea had a few more good moves before the end, but none were enough to secure a goal or the win.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 32SaturdayMan.
