Town were let down by poor defending and Andy D’Urso’s failure to award a definite penalty as Swansea came from behind to beat the Blues 3-1 at Portman Road. Loanee Andros Townsend put Town in front with his first goal for the Blues but Craig Beattie (2) and Joe Allen condemned Roy Keane’s side to their fifth consecutive league defeat.
Jason Scotland’s second strike for Town and an Adam Matthews own goal saw the Blues to a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City and into second place in the Championship. After a slow start Town, who were denied what looked like a certain penalty when Wickham was felled in the first half, went ahead after the break when Matthews headed past his own keeper, Scotland sealing the victory with 16 minutes remaining.
