Four things we learned: Ipswich (A)

Norwich City overcame local rivals Ipswich 1-0 to push themselves into the play-off positions for the first time this season.

Daniel Farke’s side are also now nine games unbeaten in all competitions this season, having not lost since the 4-0 drubbing to Millwall at the end of August.

Angus Gunn kept his seventh clean sheet of the Championship season. He has now kept more shut-outs than any other goalkeeper in the division.
