The goal came as Cesc Fàbregas swung the ball wide left from the center circle, a long diagonal ball for Bendtner left the big Dne three touches away from the penalty area.

Moving through the outside of the ball, Bendtner curled the ball around Martón Fulöp, being the Ipswich `keeper to his far post for the match’s first goal.
