Yet few people could scarcely believed what happened next as Kieran Trippier took a belter of a free kick and put it straight over the wall, past the keeper and into the top corner.

The scene was met with jubilation from fans, with a video of dozens of pints of drink flying into the air at Ipswich Town’s Portman Road ground, where fans are able to watch the game on a big screen in the FanZone.
