Ipswich Town Vs Brentford, Premier League: The Bees Beat Tractor Boys At Portman Road

Brentford edged closer to a European spot with a 1-0 win over relegated Ipswich at Portman Road, their fourth consecutive Premier League victory. Kevin Schade's header from Bryan Mbeumo's corner in the 18th minute proved decisive, strengthening Brentford's claim to eighth place and a potential Conference League spot. The win sets up a crucial run-in for the Bees, who could still achieve their highest top-flight finish in 87 years, depending on the FA Cup final outcome.
