Town will go into the final day of the season needing to beat QPR at Portman Road to definitely secure promotion back to the Premier League following a pulsating 2-2 draw with Southampton at St Mary’s. After a goalless but still entertaining first half, the Blues took the lead through Wes Burns three minutes after the restart, however, Ryan Manning’s deflected free-kick levelled the scores 10 minutes later, before Cyle Larin put the Saints in front in the 80th minute and Jack Clarke equalised for Town with three minutes remaining, Town going close to winning it three more times before the end.  53
