Chelsea escape humiliation but Ipswich draw raises worrying issues
Jadon Sancho 's stunning late goal capped a second-half fightback as Chelsea recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Ipswich Town at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca was facing surely the worst defeat of his tenure when Julio Enciso's tap-in and Ben Johnson's header put struggling Ipswich in sight of a famous win that would have kept alive their faint hopes of avoiding relegation from the Premier League. Chelsea hit back and reduced the arrears in the first minute after half-time, Marc Cucurella 's presence at the near post forcing an own goal from Axel Tuanzebe, before Sancho sent relief around the ground by curling in his first goal since December. The Blues will still see the result as two points dropped in the race for Champions League qualification, however. Nicolas Jackson struck a post in the eighth minute after being set up by Enzo Fernandez's cut-back, then Noni Madueke brought a near-post save from Alex Palmer following Pedro Neto's neat, deep cross. Ipswich's goalkeeper was alert to fling himself and get two hands on Levi Colwill's close-range header as Chelsea piled on huge early pressure and the visitors struggled to draw breath. And so it was from nowhere that Ipswich went in front. Enciso had scored a stunning 30-yard effort on this ground for Brighton in April 2023 and, though this was a less spectacular finish, it had a similar impact. George Hirst carried the ball forward and moved it wide for Johnson, whose low cross from the right was highly inviting, leaving Enciso to simply put out a foot and guide it past Robert Sanchez. There was then the highly unusual sight of Sanchez shooing his defenders upfield at a goal-kick, bypassing Maresca's preferred build-up play. Sanchez hoofed it long and the ball came straight back at Chelsea, Jack Clarke driving on and finding Enciso, who crossed to the far post where Johnson was waiting to nod home. The flag immediately went up against Enciso, but the new semi-automated offside system intervened and Ipswich were two up. The boos that greeted Chelsea as they left the pitch at half-time were the biggest noise the home fans had mustered to that point, but it was eclipsed 18 seconds into the second half when their team began their fightback. Straight from kick-off Fernandez moved the ball wide on the right to Madueke, who ran it to the byline and pulled back for Cucurella arriving at the near post to shovel it against Tuanzebe and in. Hirst then came within a whisker of restoring the two-goal lead with a brilliant, swinging drive that flashed inches wide before moments later failing to make proper contact with a header when unmarked six yards out. Sancho levelled 12 minutes from time to rescue Chelsea and his effort could not have landed much more perfectly in the top corner. Trevoh Chalobah ought to have won it with a late header that he powered down into the ground and over the bar. Cole Palmer was then denied by a full-stretch save from his namesake in the Ipswich goal in stoppage time.

Enciso offers reminder of 'game-changing' quality he possesses
Whenever I see the name Julio Enciso my mind goes back to Brighton's 4-1 demolition of Wolves at the start of last Kaoru Mitoma's solo goal, which started at the halfway line, understandably grabbed all the headlines, the big takeaway for me was Enciso's decision-making enabled the Paraguay international, then still a teenager, to provide two assists, but also display the physicality needed to excel in the Premier League when a key part of your game is driving the team forward and looking to hurt the opposition.I was convinced he was on course to follow in the footsteps of Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister, Marc Cucurella and Ben White, and be sold for a hefty a few days after his performance at Molineux, Enscio suffered a meniscus tear in training, an injury which would require two operations and force him to miss over six months of clocked up more minutes on the Brighton bench than on the pitch under Fabian Hurzeler this season, it was no surprise to learn Enciso pushed for a January loan move in pursuit of more game time. I must admit, though, I was shocked to see him opt for struggling Ipswich amid reported interest from Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United.I have not watched every second of all of his performances in a Town shirt. However, commentating over his assist for Nathan Broadhead's goal in their 2-1 win over Bournemouth, which included a powerful dribble where he was able to hold off and outpace three defenders, was a reminder of the game-changing quality the 21-year-old is proven at Premier League level. However, apart from Liam Delap, all of Ipswich's attacking options have struggled to make a consistent impact this manager Kieran McKenna confirming to me injuries to Lief Davis and Omari Hutchinson, the pair who sit at the top of Ipswich's chances created stats list, the need for Enciso to rediscover his best form on a regular basis could not be greater.

Ipswich loanee Julio Enciso facing up to four weeks on sidelines with knee injury
Brighton & Hove Albion forward Julio Enciso is facing up to four weeks on the sidelines with loan club Ipswich Town after suffering another knee injury. The Paraguay international was forced off after 14 minutes of his full away debut in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Aston Villa. A scan has revealed no repeat of serious damage to his left knee. Advertisement Enciso sustained a meniscus tear to the same knee with Brighton last season, which ruled him out for six months between August and February. The latest injury cut short the 21-year-old's third appearance since joining Ipswich on loan for the rest of the season in the January transfer window. He made his debut as a substitute in a 4-1 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield last month. That was followed by his first start earlier this month in a 2-1 home defeat against Southampton. It is unclear how many matches the 21-year-old will miss in Ipswich's fight against relegation from the Premier League. Kieran McKenna's side are 18th in the standings, two points adrift of safety, with games coming up at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and away to Manchester United four days later. Enciso is ineligible for the FA Cup fifth round visit to Nottingham Forest on March 3, having played and scored for Brighton in their 4-0 victory at Norwich in the third round. The Paraguayan is also likely to miss Ipswich's subsequent Premier League games against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, but is expected to be back for the trip to Bournemouth on April 1. Enciso may be fit in time for Paraguay's World Cup qualifying fixtures at home to Chile on March 20 and away to Colombia on March 26. Paraguay are currently sixth in the South American group of ten nations, which is the last qualifying spot to automatically reach the 2026 finals in the US, Canada and Mexico. Enciso's Paraguay team-mate Diego Gomez is in contention for his fifth appearance for Brighton on Saturday at rock-bottom Southampton after completing a move from MLS side Inter Miami in January. The midfielder has featured four times as a substitute so far for Faban Hurzeler's side, who sit tenth in the table.
