Philogene and Akpom goals secure 2-1 win over Oxford
Charlton hold Coventry 1-1; Derby upset Middlesbrough
Ipswich climbed into the automatic promotion places in the Championship following a 2-1 victory over struggling Oxford.
Their success came via first-half goals from leading scorer Jaden Philogene and Chuba Akpom, while Will Lankshear replied for the visitors. Ipswich moved a point above Middlesbrough after they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Derby, while Oxford remain three points from safety.
“We’re happy to get the win,” said the Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna. “It’s coming in a really busy week for everyone and you have to appreciate it even more. I thought we certainly did enough to win the game but without doing everything that we probably wanted to do to be honest.”
