Yet the visitors deserve credit, nonetheless, for weathering the hurricane that is Kieran McKenna\u2019s Ipswich, especially on their turf.<\/p>\n<p>To put it simply, Ipswich do not lose on home soil. It\u2019s nearly time to haul the Christmas decorations from the loft and still the Tractor Boys have only lost once at Portman Road in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In that time, 18 sides have left with their tails between their legs. Some swept aside, others blown away. But Fulham proved the perfect storm chasers and proved too strong for the hosts to withstand.<\/p>\n<p>The early warning signs were there when the Premier League side went ahead inside the opening ten minutes. Few inside Portman Road will have seen their side carved open in the manner they were for Harry Wilson\u2019s opener for a long time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/20\/77288539-0-image-a-1_1698870246225.jpg\" height=\"413\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Harry Wilson put Fulham ahead from close range in the ninth minute against Ipswich<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/20\/77288607-0-image-a-2_1698870288149.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wilson latched on to Bobby de Cordova-Reid&#8217;s pass and took it around keeper Christian Walton<\/p>\n<p>The hosts never threatened to set up a nervy finish, with Rodrigo Muniz and Tom Cairney putting the game out of sight early in the second half for Fulham.<\/p>\n<p>Substitute Elkan Baggott helped to soften the blow of this defeat with a late consolation but Ipswich will dearly hope this defeat proves to be inconsequential in their promotion push.<\/p>\n<p>The fact they can even be in the conversation for a return to the Premier League just a few months on from being promoted from the third tier of English football is remarkable in itself.<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS<\/h3>\n<p><span>IPSWICH (4-2-3-1):<\/span> Walton 5; Donacien 5.5 (Hutchinson 69, 5.5), Tuanzebe 5.5, Burgess 5.5 (Baggott 60mins, 6), Clarke 5.5; Ball 5.5, Taylor 5.5; Jackson 6, Harness 6, Aluko (C) 5.5 (Humphreys 61, 6); Ladapo 5 (Hirst 69, 6).<\/p>\n<p><span>Subs not used:<\/span> Slicker, Edmundson, Carr, Luongo, Chaplin.<\/p>\n<p><span>Goal:<\/span> Baggott 79<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked:<\/span> Harness 32, Taylor 38<\/p>\n<p><span>Manager:<\/span> Kieran McKenna 6<\/p>\n<p><span>FULHAM (4-2-3-1):<\/span> Rodak 5.5; Castagne 6 (Tanton 95), De Fougerolles 6, Bassey 6.5, Ballo-Toure 6.5; Lukic 6, Cairney (C) 6.5; Wilson 6.5 (Iwobi 69, 5.5), Pereira 7 (Reed 68, 6), De Cordova-Reid 7; Muniz 7 (Jimenez 69, 5.5).<\/p>\n<p><span>Subs not used<\/span>: Benda, Robinson, Ream, Palhinha, Vinicius.<\/p>\n<p><span>Goals<\/span>: Wilson 9, Muniz 49, Cairney 77<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked<\/span>: Lukic 38, Jimenez 86, Reed 89<\/p>\n<p><span>Manager<\/span>: Marco Silva 7<\/p>\n<p><span>Refere<\/span><span>e<\/span>: Lewis Smith 5<\/p>\n<p><span>Attendance:<\/span> 28,221<\/p>\n<p>But this was a little taste of what they could win should they return to the top flight after more than two decades in the wilderness.<\/p>\n<p>Credit to Marco Silva\u2019s side, who treated this clash with the utmost professionalism. With McKenna opting to make 11 changes, Fulham\u2019s slick football was too much for the hosts\u2019s second-string side to handle.<\/p>\n<p>Too many passes went astray, too many second balls dropped to men in white shirts. In the Championship, you can get away with such slip-ups. Not against Premier League opposition, though, and within ten minutes, the hosts duly found themselves behind.<\/p>\n<p>Forward Rodrigo Muniz refused to be muscled off the ball his marker and knocked the ball in-field to Bobby De Cordova-Reid, taking three Ipswich defenders out in the process.<\/p>\n<p>De Cordova-Reid had two options. A tempting ball through to Andreas Pereira, who was racing from a central position towards goal. But even more tantalising was the acres of space that Wilson found himself in over the far side.<\/p>\n<p>With Ipswich keeper Christian Walton charging out of his box in a futile attempt at closing down the angle, Wilson chopped past the stranded gloveman and passed the ball into an empty net.<\/p>\n<p>Ipswich\u2019s persistence to maintain the high press which has served them so well under McKenna was to be admired, yet the ease at which Fulham cut through made it look naive at times. The hosts were fortunate to see Fode Ballo-Toure\u2019s cross deflect onto the bar just minutes after falling behind.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/21\/77293221-12699713-image-a-13_1698875707549.jpg\" height=\"354\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Fulham doubled their advantage when Wilson&#8217;s low cross was finished by Rodrigo Muniz<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/01\/21\/77292237-0-image-a-4_1698874279974.jpg\" height=\"487\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Midfielder Tom Cairney put the game out of sight early in the second half for Fulham<\/p>\n<p>Silva\u2019s side were given an almighty scare when goalkeeper Marek Rodak\u2019s dozy pass was intercepted but he was on guard to tip Kayden Jackson\u2019s effort around the post.
