Following a Norwich City dig, Spurs player James Maddison targets an Ipswich Town supporter.
Last time out, the two teams faced off in the East Anglian derby at Portman Road, and the Tractor Boys won 3-1. Kieran McKenna’s team controlled the ball and gradually undermined Norwich’s defence, giving them a better chance to win right away. Cedric Kipre scored an opening goal from a corner as a result of this pressure.
Oscar Schwartau’s effort from beyond the area bounced past Alex Palmer to tie the score, and the Canaries answered nearly immediately. But Ipswich still had the better of the opportunities, and they took the lead again shortly before halftime thanks to a spectacular goal from star winger Jaden Philogene. The Suffolk team took all three points as Jack Clarke extended their lead 13 minutes from the end, moving McKenna’s team up to ninth place in the standings and six points behind league leaders Coventry City.
The fact that Ipswich defeated Norwich in the league for the first time in sixteen years has caused everyone associated with the team to celebrate more. Naturally, Norwich has had a challenging start to the season under head coach Liam Manning, who is under increasing pressure. Their loss in a crucial match where they have traditionally held the bragging rights has only added to the annoyance being felt at Carrow Road right now.
Some with ties to the Canaries, such as former player James Maddison, have taken notice of such displays of joy. After moving from his boyhood team, Coventry City, Maddison made over 50 appearances for Norwich City throughout the early stages of his career. His 14 goals and eight assists during the 2017–18 Championship campaign were sufficient to persuade Leicester City to hire him.
The England international really developed as a player at Carrow Road, and as a result, he still has a lot of positive feelings for the Norfolk team. In April 2024, Norwich defeated Ipswich 1-0, with Marcelino Nunez, unfortunately, scoring the game-winning goal. Maddison celebrated the triumph on social media, writing: “In case anyone needed reminding… East Anglia has always been green and golden. 15 years now?
