Haaland restored City's lead in the 34th minute with Mateo Kovačić providing the assist, and the home side went in 2-1 ahead at half-time.

City pushed further clear on 69 minutes when Haaland scored again, his second of the match, from Iliman Ndiaye's assist to make it 3-1. Ipswich kept going and, after making two changes on 71 minutes and two more on 78 minutes, won a penalty that Zian Flemming converted in the 90th minute after coming on in the 78th minute. City also made two changes on 77 minutes, and VAR ruled out a Haaland goal in the 85th minute.
