Ipswich Town dropped more points in their quest to climb away from the relegation zone after being held to a 1-1 draw by Middlesbrough.

This afternoon's contest got off to a dream start for them following great play by new signings David Healy and Daryl Murphy.

There were just 22 seconds on the clock when Healy crossed from the right and Murphy sent a close-range effort spinning into the Boro net.

However, Gordon Strachan's side equalised after 62 minutes when David Wheater headed in a corner by Gary O'Neil.
