Ipswich Town 5 West Ham United 1: match report Big things are expected from the teenage midfielder and a lot of pressure will be placed on his young shoulders to help the east London club achieve their goal of securing automatic promotion come the end of the season. West Ham never looked title contenders and two goals from Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Michael Chopra, Daryl Murhpy and Lee Martin made it a memorable evening for the Suffolk club. Jewell's side recorded their biggest victory of the season and this could be just the tonic they need to move away from the bottom three and ensure they are playing in the Championship next season. Allardyce was looking to maintain West Ham's lead at the top of the Championship but he must have found it difficult to get the players minds off all the transfer activity surrounding the club. All the talk in the build-up to the game surrounded the arrival of Morrison from Manchester United and it was hardly the ideal preparation for the West Ham manager who travelled separate from the team on their journey to Portman Road as he looked to finalise all their transfer dealings. Having won 1-0 at Upton Park earlier in the season, Ipswich were determined to cause another upset and get their season back on track after failing to win in their previous six games. The home side got off to a dream start when they opened the scoring after just three minutes. Allardyce might be trying to address the club's goalscoring problems but his defence was all over the place when Chopra got on the scoresheet. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas laid the ball into the former Cardiff forward who was clear inside the penalty area and fired a fierce shot past Robert Green into the corner of the net. West Ham had a golden chance to grab an equaliser on six minutes but Carlton Cole saw his close-range header come back off the post. Ipswich made them pay as they added a second on 44 minutes. Tommy Smith flicked a corner into the path of the Murphy who was unmarked inside the box and directed his header into the roof of the net. West Ham thought they had found a route back into the game when they pulled a goal back just seconds later. Mark Noble's cross picked out Collison who flicked the ball home from close-range. But Ipswich quickly restored their two-goal advantage on the stroke of half-time. McCartney was adjudged to have brought down Chopra inside the box and Martin sent Green the wrong way from the penalty spot. Ipswich made it four on 64 minutes when Emmanuel-Thomas cut in from the right and struck a powerful shot which flew past Green into the corner of the net. The former Arsenal midfielder compounded the misery for West Ham when he scored his second goal in injury time when he struck a low shot past Green to make it a nightmare journey back to London for the Championship leaders. The only consolation for Allardyce was that Southampton could only manage a 1-1 draw with Cardiff and West Ham remain two points clear at the top.
