Town came from behind to win for the first time since Easter Monday 2024 as goals from Ben Johnson and Kasey McAteer saw the Blues to a 2-1 victory over Birmingham City at Portman Road and up to second in the Championship. The visitors went ahead against the run of play through Carlos Vicente on 32, but Johnson levelled in the 41st minute and McAteer netted what proved to be the winner four minutes later. The Midlanders had the better of the second half and were furious that a Dara O’Shea own goal was ruled out as the assistant referee had wrongly indicated the ball had already gone out of play.  57
