Jaden Philogene puts Ipswich ahead with absolute screamer then cheekily rattles Norwich fans in Sunday’s East Anglian Derby.
On 32 minutes, Cedric Kipre put the hosts ahead when a deep corner from the left was worked back into the middle, before dropping to the goal scorer, who unleashed powerful half-volley into the roof of the net.
188 seconds later, Oscar Schwartau got Norwich level, a corner glanced clear in the middle, with it falling to Schwartau on the edge of the D and a first-time volley came off a defender and deflected inside the post past the right hand of the diving Alex Palmer.
On the verge of half time, Jaden Philogene produced a very special goal, that would be ‘talked about for years to come’. A 30-yard rocket with his left foot which into the top corner via the fingertips of Vlad Kovacevic and clipping underside of the bar.

WHAT A SCREAMER FROM JADEN PHILOGENE 🫨 pic.twitter.com/5ZGMSeRhOr

Brenner Woolley (BBC Radio Suffolk commentator): “That’s one of the great derby goals, it’s a pearler. That is sublime from Jaden Philogene.”
Sky Sports’ Andy Hinchcliffe: “Five goals for Philogene at Portman Road this season. A moment of genius.”
Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones: “Ipswich haven’t played with much cohesion or created that many chances but their individual quality has paid dividends. Stunning goal from Philogene.”
Mick Mills (Former Ipswich and England captain on BBC Radio Suffolk): “It was a very tiring 45 minutes. I was irritated with the way we started. We went and decided to play short passes, play out from the back and it did not work and it made Norwich comfortable.
“All of a sudden we scored and excellent goal from the corner, they got a little bit fortunate with the equaliser and made it really difficult for us.
“But then in a half that hasn’t been our best JP picks the ball up and he’s unleashed a shot which was outstanding.
“Now I would like the manager now to admit the style has not worked. He’s got to encourage early ball to the front players a bit more. We’ve got to look better with in the opposition half.”
Rob Butler (BBC Radio Norfolk sport): “The bottom line is Nowich have not lost this game yet. They’ve been the better team and it was a great goal from JP.
“This game is not over. Norwich just need to stay positive because there’s every chance they can still win this let alone draw it.”
