IPSWICH gave their hopes of automatic promotion a massive boost thanks to first-half goals from Jaden Philogene and George Hirst, which proved enough to see off Norwich.
-
Town moved into the top two, with two games in hand on their rivals, as they completed a long-overdue double over the Canaries.
Norwich had more of the ball but were frustrated by an impressive defensive display from the visitors, who kept the number of clear-cut chances down to a bare minimum.
The defeat ended any faint chance the home side had of making the playoffs - although the fact they are heading for a top-10 finish is still a remarkable achievement for a side who were in the bottom three at the start of the year.
