Ipswich lodge complaint of fan assault as Birmingham fume over late penalty

Times5 days ago
A controversial penalty awarded deep into stoppage time ended in an official complaint of fan assault on Ipswich Town's Jack Taylor as Birmingham City made an eventful return to the Championship.
St Andrew's was sent into a state of shock after Lyndon Dykes, a second-half substitute, was adjudged to have handled the ball during a late corner, with Ipswich's George Hirst making no mistake from the spot for a 95th-minute equaliser.
As the striker wheeled away in celebration, his team-mate Conor Chaplin kicked the ball into the crowd behind the goal, prompting Birmingham captain Christop Klarer to confront Chaplin and sparking a mêlée that spilt on to the advertising hoardings by the home fans, one of which allegedly attempted to put Taylor in a headlock.

Sheffield Wednesday set up second-round tie with Leeds after win on penalties

Charles, the only player to retain his place from last Sunday's Championship defeat at Leicester, kept out efforts from Aaron Morley and Max Conway before stalwart Palmer booked a home derby with Leeds. Victory was well deserved for Henrik Pedersen's young guns despite Wanderers going down to 10 men after defender Sam Inwood's 30th-minute red card. Pedersen named five teenagers in his starting line-up and Gui Siqueira smashed them into a 20th-minute lead. Wanderers equalised for the first time through Jordi Osei-Tutu after 36 minutes. However, Owls' skipper Ike Ugbo restored the visitors' advantage with a cool right-footed finish a minute later. Substitute Thierry Gale's first Bolton goal after 77 minutes looked to have earned penalties, only for Reece Johnson to make it 3-2 after 80 minutes. Wednesday were heading through until substitute Amario Cozier-Duberry's dramatic stunning stoppage-time leveller. However, Charles was the hero with his double saves to delight Wednesday's travelling fans.

UEFA Super Cup: Spurs let slip 2-0 lead to lose to PSG on penalties

Tottenham let slip a two-goal lead before losing a penalty shootout to Paris St Germain (PSG) in the final of the UEFA Super Cup. Spurs defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero scored from set pieces to put the north London side on their way to winning the trophy, in what was manager Thomas Frank's first game in charge. However, Champions League winners PSG, who were thrashed in the Club World Cup final by Chelsea last month, produced a stunning response after Kang-in Lee pulled one back with five minutes left. PSG striker Goncalo Ramos, who was brought on in the 77th minute, forced the game to penalties after scoring a header in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The Super Cup final, played each year between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League, does not feature extra time - meaning the game went straight to spot kicks. Europa League winners Tottenham initially had the advantage when Vitinha missed PSG's first kick - but it was followed by Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failing to score their penalties. PSG, managed by Luis Enrqiue, went on to win 4-3. The PSG players poured on to the pitch in celebration, knowing they had etched their names into history as the first French side to lift the trophy. "It's incredible to win like this. This team once again showed character, even if we're not at our physical best," PSG defender Marquinhos said. "We managed to get the goals we needed through the substitutions, and in the shootout we have players who take their penalties well and a goalkeeper who helped us." Tottenham, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season, were unable to win what would have been their second trophy in 17 years - with the first one coming when they beat Manchester United in Europe's second-tier competition in May.
