Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town forward Zian Flemming, who scored his first goal for the club to take all three points off Crystal Palace, has been speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk before Tuesday's Carabao Cup third-round tie against Arsenal at Portman Road (20:00 BST).
"Late wins are always the best, aren't they?" he said after scoring the 90th-minute winner at Selhurst Park on Saturday. "It just has to sink in a little bit I think because it isn't always a guarantee to win Premier League games away from home.
"When you add in the fact that I've barely just arrived, to come on and score the winner is obviously a lovely start at my new club.
"It is lovely to be off the mark. I came from Burnley, a club where I had proven myself with a lot of Premier League goals, but you always have the feeling that you have to prove yourself again."
On hosting the Premier League champions at Portman Road next, he said: "It sounds amazing, doesn't it? We fancy ourselves in that, of course. Why not?
"We want to be on the biggest stage - and this is the biggest team that you could face at the moment.
"Under the lights at home, I'm expecting all of the fans to be buzzing and all of us players to give it a right go."

Final Score reporter at Selhurst Park
Image source, Getty ImagesLast time Ipswich were in the Premier League in 2024-25 it took them until 10 November to reach six points. This time around, they have reached that total by mid-September.
Their second win of the season, at Crystal Palace on Saturday, was by no means perfect, but Gary O'Neil will surely be encouraged by his side scoring three goals away from home as Ipswich came from behind to snatch victory in the 90th minute.
Town's Leif Davis had a busy afternoon in south London, in what was another impressive performance from the full-back.
After deflecting Anan Khalaili's shot into his own net for Palace's opener, the 26-year-old then provided the assist for Ipswich's equaliser, before scoring himself with a fine header to give the visitors a half-time lead.
Davis also played a part in Ipswich's dramatic, late winner, his looping header from a Julio Enciso cross coming back off the bar before falling kindly to substitute Zian Flemming to slot home.
Davis is a product of Wallsend Boys Club, an famous junior team on Tyneside from which an illustrious list of former players - like Alan Shearer, Michael Carrick and, more recently, Elliot Anderson - have all gone on and played for England.
If the Ipswich man continues this impressive start to the season, international recognition may well soon be on the cards for him too.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town.
Here are some of your comments:
Palace fans
Jason: We started off on the right foot, looking the best we've played so far this season. But, the sending off was a poor mistake, and needless to make such a challenge in that part of the field. Followed by poor defending, leaving players unmarked in the box, it was too easy for Ipswich to score. We battled well with 10 men, and good to see Jorgen Strand Larsen score again - that could/should have salvaged a draw. Lots of work to do to tighten up defensively. Going forward, I think we'll be OK and will naturally improve.
Les: Usual rubbish. It's difficult to blame the manager when a handful of players came in before deadline day and are expected to perform when they don't know each other. Sage needs to sort this out quickly or relegation is looming.
Jezza: Absolute dross. Please send that Chelsea reject back and immediately. I don't blame Sage, the blame lays firmly at the door of Parish. You can't sell your best assets (cheaply) and expect everything to be rosy. Going down. Simples!
Sean: Where do you start? No cohesion. No unity. No understanding between defensive players. At 1-0 we were coasting, only to once again shoot ourselves in the foot. Also, Sage's continued public criticism of some players is starting look unprofessional.
Ipswich fans
Chris: Ipswich controlled parts of the game and deserved win over the 90 minutes. Defence is still really poor and the goalkeeper is nowhere near good enough for the Premier League, Scherpen almost gave Palace a gift early on with a wayward clearance - terrible. We are letting in way too many easy goals and goalkeeper HAS to go.
Roddy: Good all-round performance against a Palace side slightly all at sea, despite their magnificent support. However, we made it hard for ourselves by not wrapping up the game with the five or six chances we had early in the second half when we continued to dominate. A win is a win, though, so three points from a game we might have only budgeted for one.
Jamie: Couldn't be happier getting a last-minute winner. We were against 10 men but we are still a new team and this is massive for us. Everyone has written us off but this is different to last time. I do believe we will stay up.

Image source, Getty ImagesLeif Davis has been a stalwart for Ipswich since the League One days. Now, he doesn't look out of place in the best league in the world.
His game at Selhurst Park got off to a nightmare start when Anan Khalaili's attempt deflected off his foot and into the back of Kjell Scherpen's goal.
Instead of letting his head drop, Davis took the game into his own hands and delivered a pinpoint cross to Emersonn, who levelled the score.
Davis continued on the front foot and combined excellently with Jack Clarke on the left flank to pin Khalaili and Chris Richards in their own half, stifling Palace of chances for large parts of the match.
The high-flying full-back then made one of his trademark runs into the box and found himself on the end of Emersonn's attempt at goal, nodding home effortlessly to put the Tractor Boys into the lead.
Today's goal and assist mean the 26-year-old has already equalled the amount of goal involvements he managed in the entirety of his previous Premier League campaign (three).
If Davis can maintain his level for the rest of the season, Gary O'Neil's side have a real chance of avoiding the drop.
Ipswich Town manager Gary O'Neil, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm pleased for the players and the fanbase. It is tough to win away from home in the Premier League is a newly-promoted side. We've done it after the second away game of the season.
"Fantastic character, three good goals and we look like a threat. Plenty of positives. There is lots we need to improve but in terms of character, there was some big pluses."
Ipswich Town forward Zian Flemming speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's a great feeling to win, and to score the winner is even better. They had a phase in the second half - regardless of being down to 10 men - where they were the dominant side, and they rewarded themselves with a goal as well. Luckily we turned it around as we shouldn't really be in that situation in the first place."
On his low-key celebration: "I can't really predict how I'm going to celebrate. I felt quite calm in the moment for some reason."
On the win: "Every point is precious. It is not easy to win in the Premier League, especially away from home. We were playing against 10 man for a big part of the game so we should have come away with three points as well. They are all helping towards the end goal."
Did you know?
This is the first time that Ipswich Town have won a Premier League game in which they trailed since a 2-1 away win over Tottenham Hotspur in December 2001.
Ipswich Town's Emersonn is the first Brazilian player to both score and assist for a newly promoted side in the Premier League since Danilo for Nottingham Forest against Southampton in May 2023.

Crystal Palace picked up their first win under Pierre Sage last weekend, which was really important for them.
They have still got goals in their team, as they showed against Fulham, but it was quite an open game and they always look like they will concede a few too.
I covered Ipswich's defeat by Liverpool and what worries me a little bit is the way their manager, Gary O'Neil, saw that game.
He was overly positive about his team's performance and, while I know why he is doing it, you can't mask that they didn't match Liverpool and they were not creative enough in the final third either - I don't remember Alisson having to make a save of note.
This feels like an important game for Ipswich after two successive defeats but I don't know why I am thinking they will get a point because that's not going to happen, is it?
My first thought was that they will grind out a draw, but I've changed my mind and am going with Palace to take the points at home.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
Tom McCoy
BBC Sport journalist
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Saturday's match between Crystal Palace and Ipswich (15:00 BST), with newly promoted Town hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat.
Mitchell making his mark
Crystal Palace earned their first Premier League win under Pierre Sage by beating Fulham 3-2 last weekend, but the head coach was notably magnanimous afterwards, admitting he was "disappointed for the other team and the coach, they had opportunities too".
He was at it again following Tuesday's Carabao Cup win over Middlesbrough when, as against the Cottagers, Palace prevailed despite their opponents having significantly more possession. Sage stressed Boro were "a really good team", adding: "I want to congratulate them – the score is for us, but they played well."
The next target for the fair-minded Frenchman is to help his side secure back-to-back top-flight wins for the first time this calendar year.
The Eagles' defence has not particularly shone of late, conceding two or more goals in nine consecutive league matches, an unwanted club record. But defenders were the heroes at Craven Cottage, with wing-back Tyrick Mitchell scoring the first double of his career and his second-half replacement, Ben Chilwell, hitting the winner.
Mitchell often had to rein in his forward runs under Oliver Glasner, with the buccaneering Daniel Munoz providing more of an attacking outlet on the opposite flank.
But with the Colombian having followed Glasner to Nottingham Forest, Mitchell appears to have greater licence to push up the pitch and has registered 10 touches in the opposition box, the joint most among Premier League defenders this season.
Tractor Boys seek to cut out mistakes
After marking their Premier League return with a morale-boosting opening-weekend win over Sunderland, Ipswich have been brought back down to earth, perhaps predictably, by defeats against Manchester United and Liverpool.
But the Blues' first-half performance at Old Trafford and second-half display against the Merseysiders provided crumbs of comfort for Gary O'Neil. The Town boss, who took over in June, insisted there "were a lot of very good signs" in his side's response after conceding twice in the opening nine minutes against Liverpool.
However, O'Neil admits the defensive mistakes Town have made in their past two games must be tidied up, warning that they can "kill" a side's Premier League prospects.
That was certainly the case when Ipswich were relegated in 2024-25, and the Portman Road side have now gone 22 top-flight matches without a clean sheet, conceding 57 goals during that run.
Captain Dara O'Shea played every minute at centre-back in the Championship last season, but has been deployed at right-back this term following the arrival of Issa Diop. The Irishman said this week that he has no problem playing on the right, but if the Blues continue to leak goals, O'Neil may have to consider restoring him to his preferred position.
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town left-back Leif Davis, who has started in each of the club's first three Premier League games, has been speaking to the media before Saturday's fixture against Crystal Palace (15:00 BST).
"It has been perfect for me," he replied when asked about linking back up with Gary O'Neil, having worked under him while on loan at Bournemouth. "He has helped my development since he has come in.
"We are playing a different system to what I've been used to for the past three years. I'm playing more inside now, but he knows I can play both ways. He knows about my athleticism as well.
"It has been nice to work with his staff again, whether that's on the pitch or off the pitch. I feel like I'm improving on areas in my game.
"It has been good. I feel confident with the new manager, having worked with him before. I have an understanding of how he works and how he wants his players to work as well.
"I'm happy to get my first goal, hopefully I get many more this season and maybe even one this weekend."
On how much more defensively demanding the Premier League is compared to two seasons ago, he said: "I don't think I realised how switched on you have to be in every moment of the game the first time around.
"You are coming up against the best wingers, strikers and midfielders in the world - and it is difficult. If you give these players time or space on the ball, they are going to punish you.
"Personally, that's what I've took on board the most this season."
On whether Crystal Palace presents an easier challenge, he added: "Every game is going to be tough. You cannot underestimate any team in this league. Every team has their own style which they are suited to playing.
"It is going to be a different challenge this weekend, but we are prepared for it and looking forward to it."

Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
O'Neil confirmed everyone is back in full training apart from midfielder Jack Taylor. Midfielder Azor Matusiwa and left winger Jaden Philogene, both yet to play a minute this season, are both back involved with the main group.
The Ipswich head coach added Philogene, who scored 13 goals for the Blues in all competitions last season, is ready to start, but Matusiwa is likely to only be among the substitutes.
On team fitness: "We've had a tough pre-season, some tough games, a cup game in the middle, so to go to Crystal Palace with basically a fully fit squad is a testament to the work that's been done by the players to get themselves in good shape and by the medical and fitness team."
Having signed Brazilian striker Emersonn in the summer, with the 22-year-old scoring on his competitive debut against Sunderland in Town's Premier League opener, O'Neil said he has been "really impressed me" and added: "I expected Emmy to take a while to get going, especially at Premier League level. He's done exceptionally well."
On highly-rated Eagles midfielder Adam Wharton: "An unbelievable talent, a fantastic passer of the ball. He'll be part of what we need to deal with. You don't win a European competition without having good players."

Image source, Getty ImagesThe Premier League has announced it will stage seven matches on Boxing Day this year after releasing its festive schedule.
Four fixtures will be staged at 15:00 GMT, with further matches played at 12:30, 17:30 and 20:00.
The fixture programme for 26 December, which falls on a Saturday in 2026, is considerably bigger than last year, when one game was held.
Three matches will be played on Sunday, 27 December, while three further rounds of games will be held over a period up to Thursday, 7 January.
A round of evening midweek fixtures will staged on 29-30 December, while Leeds will host Everton (20:00) for the only match on New Year's Day.
The remainder of that round will be held over the weekend of 2-3 January, with the fourth round of games spread across the evenings of 5-7 January.
The Premier League has brought forward the announcement of fixture scheduling over the Christmas and New Year period after consultation with both broadcast partners and the Football Supporters' Association and representatives from club Fan Advisory Boards.
Television scheduling for Premier League fixtures has been announced up to Monday, 2 November, with broadcast selections for the remaining games in November and December to be announced in the weeks commencing 21 September and 19 October respectively.
The Premier League has guaranteed clubs at least a 60-hour break between fixtures over the festive period to address the concerns over a congested festive schedule that follows recent expansions of the European and international calendars.

Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town legend John Wark has backed goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen to keep his place against Crystal Palace despite a difficult start in the defeat by Liverpool.
Scherpen was arguably at fault for both of Liverpool's opening goals as Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak combined to put the Reds 2-0 ahead inside the opening nine minutes.
But Wark, speaking on BBC Radio Suffolk, felt the goalkeeper improved as the game went on and believes it would be "a surprise" if he lost his place for Saturday's game at Palace.
"I thought he was poor at the start but he got better," Wark said. "He had a couple of good saves. The goals they gave away were disappointing.
"I just thought everybody would blame him, that's why they're all picking on the goalkeeper."
Looking ahead to the trip to Selhurst Park, Wark said: "It's a massive game. You have to go there, at their own place. I think if we are going to get a chance of winning a game, we have a chance against them."
Ipswich commentator Brenner Woolley thinks Town's next three league games - against Palace, Everton and at home to Fulham offer a good barometer.
He feels Palace and Fulham are among a group of teams in "transitional" stages with new managers, which offers an opportunity.
Woolley said: "We'll have a better idea of where Ipswich are at when the full-time whistle goes at Fulham."
Woolley was also asked some quiz questions about the Selhurst Park trip, including who was Ipswich's last goalscorer in a league match at the stadium.
Tune in to find the answer and hear more questions.

Image source, Getty ImagesThree games into the season and three points on the board. Ipswich Town at least have a start and a platform to build on, however, a couple of Premier League heavyweights have done their best to dent what was a very encouraging beginning just a couple of weeks ago.
With just 10 minutes on the clock at Portman Road last Friday, I would have probably taken a 2-0 defeat for the Blues against Liverpool, but I never thought it possible.
The fact that Gary O'Neil's side saw out the rest of the match without conceding, against a side who were looking so rampant early on, was a big positive in my eyes. I'm not sure that would have been the case two seasons ago.
All that being said, there has been roughly a 70-minute period - from Old Trafford and Portman Road last week combined - whereby Ipswich Town have conceded seven goals. Granted, there were some unfortunate and controversial moments in there, but it is still a concern.
Naturally, goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen was criticised off the back of Liverpool's opener, having committed the cardinal sin of being beaten at his near post. However, it was some strike from a rejuvenated Alexander Isak.
The scoreline would have been greater but for a couple of impressive saves from the Dutchman to deny Dominik Szoboszlai, so now is surely not the time to be thinking about making a switch between the posts.
O'Neil says there won't be a loss of confidence regardless of what results are at the weekend, and the games will be separated, with each one posing it's own different challenge.
The questions asked by Crystal Palace on Saturday will be different again. Hopefully it will be a good time to face the Eagles, who are still getting to grips with life after Oliver Glasner.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United's second goal against Ipswich Town was rightly awarded despite the ball coming off the arm of Harry Maguire, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled.
Any accidental handball by a player before they score should mean the goal is disallowed.
But Maguire, who had his arms raised to his chest under pressure from Chuba Akpom, saw his shot deflected into the net off Ipswich defender Jacob Greaves for an own goal, meaning the United player was not actually the goalscorer.
The game was 1-1 at the time of the goal, with United going on to win 5-2.
The video assistant referee, Jarred Gillett, told match referee Craig Pawson: "It's an own goal and the accidental handball is not punishable, so we recommend you award the goal."
If the handball had been deliberate then the goal could have been ruled out, a view that was held by Match of the Day pundits Shay Given and Ellen White.
Given said: "It is a clear handball. His hands are not in a natural position. It is a deliberate handball and a deliberate motion towards the ball."
White added: "It is a very unnatural position to be going to protect your face. It does feel like a handball and it does feel deliberate."
The five members of the KMI panel backed both the on-field and VAR decision by a vote of 4:1.
The panel noted that "Maguire's arms are within his bodyline meaning that the contact with his right arm was accidental", with one panellist considering the handball to be deliberate.

Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich defender Issa Diop says his side "stuck together" and "reacted well" after conceding two goals in the opening 10 minutes in Friday's 2-0 home defeat by Liverpool at Portman Road
Alexander Isak scored twice early on but Gary O'Neil's side did not fold and showed fight to work their way back into the game and create chances.
"It's even harder when it's again Liverpool and a top side like that," Diop told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"The good thing is the response after conceding the second goal was good.
"We stuck together, we reacted well. We could have done better in different ways. You can always do better when you concede goals so we can work on it this week and we will be ready to face Crystal Palace [at Selhurst Park on Saturday].
"We have a good group with good coaching staff so I'm very happy here."

We asked for your thoughts after Friday's Premier League game between Ipswich Town and Liverpool.
Here are some of your comments:
Ipswich fans
Philip: Absolutely terrible start and never really recovered after that. The defence will cost us games, and the midfield needs to be ready for the battle every single week. Never really laid a glove on Liverpool, to be honest.
Rob: We played well after a poor start. I am not sure that our new goalkeeper is an improvement on Christian Walton.
Mel: We lost the ball too easily and didn't manage to dispossess them hardly at all. So many bad passes. Apart from Enciso, Fatawu and Davis, some expensive players still need to get their acts together. Not sure our new goalkeeper is better than Walton. But, on a positive note, they are slowly getting better and I can see us getting some good results this season and staying up.
Joseph: Two years ago we would have rolled over and conceded five or six. Fair play to this Ipswich side for trying. The cutting edge will come with time, we hope!
Liverpool fans
John: The system showed signs of coming together perfectly. The threat of Bradley Barcola on the bench seems to have fired up Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak to wake up. Defence still looks a bit unsteady, especially at right-back.
Ian: So important to get the win. Lots of positives. Jacquet played his first 90 mins. Two goals for Isak. Araujo tidy at right-back. Gakpo's attitude and performance were impeccable. Onwards and upwards.
John Y: Much better first half. Struggled to control the game in the last 20 mins by conceding possession far too easily. Isak and Gakpo worked well together. Funny game, football. Gakpo could easily have been at Manchester City rather than providing two assists for us this evening.
Arshad: Our £125m striker has finally arrived. Gakpo was immense and I'm sure every Liverpool fan is thankful we didn't sell him. Unfortunately, Wirtz is still looking lightweight, hopefully he'll turn it around. Overall, a much better performance and finally a clean sheet.

Ipswich Town starting XI:
Kjell Scherpen: Desperately poor for Alexander Isak's early goal. Weak and meant Ipswich got off to the worst possible start. A couple of decent saves but the damage was done. 4
Dara O'Shea: Led from the front as always but Ipswich's defence struggled against the movement of Isak and the creation of Gakpo. He had a hard time. 5
Issa Diop: Towering figure always willing to indulge in the physical changes but this was a tough night after those two early Liverpool goals. 6
Jacob Greaves: Stern test against the inspired Cody Gakpo, showing the quality he will face in the Premier League. 5
Leif Davis: Tested defensively but was always competitive. Lent weight to attacks and had a chance with a far post header. 6
Sasa Lukic: Will bring experience to Ipswich Town but on this night Liverpool's midfield was too powerful. 5
Exequiel Palacios: Tried to bring some composure to Ipswich Town's game but was fighting a losing battle. 6
Abdul Fatawu: Pace but little end product. Energetic but erratic. 5
Julio Enciso: Ipswich's main threat. Tireless. Might have done more with the final ball but never gave up even when odds were against him. 7
Daizen Maeda: Anonymous. Made no impact at all and no surprise when taken off. 5
Emersonn: Battled hard but no luck against Van Dijk and Jacquet. 5
Ipswich Town substitutes:
Jack Clarke (on 66, Maeda): Introduced when the game was lost. 5
Zian Flemming (on 66, Emersonn): Couple of bustling contributions. 5
Kasey McAteer (on 79, Fatawu).
Abdoul Outarra (on 78, Palacios).
Subs not used: Walton, Furlong, Kipre, Florentino, Nunez
