Ipswich have conceded in 22 consecutive Premier League matches after suffering a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool, setting a new unwanted club record in England’s top flight.
Liverpool scored twice in quick succession against Ipswich, leaving the visitors unable to respond as they secured a comfortable victory. The result extended Ipswich’s run of matches without a Premier League clean sheet to 22.
That sequence is now the longest such run in the club’s history in the Premier League. Ipswich had never previously gone through as many consecutive top-flight matches while conceding at least once in each game.
The club’s previous clean sheet in England’s top division came during the 2024-25 season, their most recent campaign in the Premier League. Ipswich’s latest shutout remains the 2-0 victory over Chelsea on 30 December 2024.
On that occasion, Ipswich scored twice without reply against a Chelsea side described as being in crisis. It was also the final time Ipswich prevented their opponents from scoring in a top-flight match.
Since then, every Premier League fixture has brought at least one goal for the opposition. The sequence continued against Liverpool, who quickly established control by finding the net twice and completing a 2-0 win.
The defeat therefore carried a significance beyond the result itself. Alongside leaving Ipswich without a clean sheet in 22 straight league games, it confirmed a new negative benchmark for the club in the competition.
Ipswich’s previous Premier League campaign was the 2024-25 season, when the 2-0 success against Chelsea represented their last top-flight match without conceding. That result now stands as the starting point for the club’s record run.
Liverpool’s victory made sure the unwanted sequence continued, while Ipswich must now wait for another opportunity to end it. Their failure to keep out Liverpool means the club’s latest Premier League record is defined by the length of its run without a clean sheet rather than by a single match.
Although Ipswich did not concede for the final time against Chelsea until 30 December 2024, they have allowed at least one goal in each of their following 22 Premier League games. The Liverpool match was the latest and extended the run to a new club record.
