Leeds 0-2 Ipswich

Sam Parkin was on target twice to shatter Leeds' unbeaten home record.

Ipswich's £550,000 buy from Swindon struck after 29 minutes, finishing in style from Dean Bowditch's cross.

Leeds wasted a chance to equalise two minutes before half-time, but Richard Cresswell's penalty hit the bar after Jim Magilton fouled Shaun Derry.

Ipswich then defended strongly before Parkin scored again in the 70th minute, as he strode on to a loose ball to confidently beat Neil Sullivan.

Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell:
"You can be critical about the finishing, but it just wouldn't seem to drop.

"When it did the goalkeeper made a great save or the bar and the post were in the way. But we played well and put Ipswich under a lot of pressure.

"Despite all the effort, the lads have got nothing to show for it. On another day we'd have won comfortably."

Ipswich boss Joe Royle:
"I came here with Oldham many, many times and I can't remember losing too often, so it's always been a lucky ground for me.

"We rode our luck today and at half-time I went as ballistic as I've seen myself go.

"But we defended superbly. We dug in there, we got blocks in and we scored two very, very good goals."
