      Bluebirds stun Ipswich with late double whammy

      Ipswich Town missed an opportunity to move back to second in the Championship after Cardiff City scored two goals in injury time to claim a remarkable 2-1 victory at the Cardiff City Stadium.

      The hosts had a strong start and had a chance to take the lead early on, but Kieffer Moore cleared Perry Ng's scuffed close-range effort off the line.

      Kieran McKenna's men improve in the second half, and shortly after coming on substitute Omari Hutchinson forced Ethan Horvath into a crucial save.

      Ipswich gradually took control of the match, and former Cardiff striker Moore put this visitors in front with a powerful left-footed finish, seemingly bringing them level on points with Championship leaders Leicester City.

      However, in the final moments of added time, Ryan Wintle deflected a shot from close range, levelling the game. 

      Five minutes later, substitute Callum O'Dowda volleyed in from Famara Diedhiou's flick-on at a corner to complete the remarable comeback.

      This defeat ended Ipswich's six-match winning streak, leaving them in third place in the table, one point behind second-place Leeds United, who beat Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night.

      While Cardiff remain in 10th place, this victory brings them within four points of the play-off spots.

      Absolutely gutted by this result. We had a chance to move up in the standings but blew it in the last minutes. So frustrating to see the lead slip away like that. Need to regroup and come back stronger next game.

      As a fan of Ipswich Town, I am absolutely gutted after this result. We had a great chance to move up the table and secure a spot in the top two, but we let it slip away in the final moments. It's frustrating to see us dominate the match and then concede two late goals. We need to be more clinical in front of goal and close out games better. Disappointing result, but we'll bounce back.

      As an Ipswich Town fan, I can't believe we missed such a crucial opportunity to move back up to second in the Championship. We had control of the match and were on track for a win, but Cardiff City's late goals were a huge blow. Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it.
