Ipswich Town hung on for a 1-0 victory against Barnsley in this afternoon's Championship match at Portman Road.

Their winner came in the fourth minute, following a dreadful mistake by Tykes goalkeeper Luke Steele.

He lost possession by the touch-line, having raced out of his area, and when Pablo Counago's angled effort hit the post Daryl Murphy was on hand to bury his sixth goal in 11 games.

Town controlled the early stages of the first half and went close through Jack Colback, Gareth McAuley and Jon Walters.

But the remainder of the game was much more even and the hosts were left hanging on in the latter stages.
