Zian Flemming came off the bench to score his first goal for Ipswich Town, salvaging a last-gasp 3-2 win over 10-man Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Ipswich had come from behind in the first half after Anan Khalaili's early goal, with Emersonn and Leif Davies both heading past Benitez on either side of Axel Disasi's straight red card.

Palace looked set to snatch a point after Jorgen Strand Larsen's 75th-minute equaliser, but Flemming was alert in the box 15 minutes later to pounce and snatch all three points for Ipswich at Selhurst Park.

A cagey start opened up in the 14th minute as Palace exploited the space in Ipswich's midfield. Daichi Kamada helped it out to Khalaili, who had time to take a touch before drilling his effort into the bottom-left corner.

Strand Larsen attempted to get a second for Palace, only to be denied by Kjell Scherpen, before Ipswich got back on level terms against the run of play in the 23rd minute, with Emersonn planting Davis' cross past Walter Benitez after Palace failed to track him.

A 34th-minute red card then gave the hosts more problems as Disasi was dismissed for catching Jack Clarke with his studs just below the midfielder's knee.

Ipswich made their numerical advantage count on the stroke of half-time, with Emersonn inadvertently helping Dara O'Shea's cross on, and Davis was on hand to head it in.

The visitors had early chances in the second half but failed to take them, boosting Palace's confidence. Kamada unpicked their defence again to slide in Strand Larsen, who held off Issa Diop to hit the back of the net.

Khalaili and Ben Chilwell both blazed brilliant openings over the crossbar, and those misses ultimately cost Palace as Flemming turned on a dime to fire in the rebound after Davis' looping header rebounded off the crossbar.

Flemming makes the difference

Flemming joined Ipswich late in the transfer window, and provides Premier League goalscoring experience, having netted 11 top-flight goals for Burnley last term.

And he is now off the mark for the Tractor Boys, having had a joint-team-high three shots worth 0.52 expected goals (xG), despite only coming on in the 63rd minute.

Ipswich have already scored three league goals through substitutes this season, and this one was vital; they have won a Premier League game after conceding the opening goal for the first time since December 2001 (v Tottenham).

Palace will be disappointed, having come into this match high on confidence after back-to-back wins in all competitions, and they have seen more top-flight goals scored by defenders than any other side since the start of last season (13).

Strand Larsen continued to stake his claim for the starting striker spot; having netted a brace against Middlesbrough in midweek, he has now netted his first league goal since March, against Spurs.

But Ipswich dug in to ensure they got their second win of the season on the board, with Gary O'Neil also earning his first Premier League win against Palace in the process.
