Danny Haynes made one and scored one as Ipswich boosted their play-off hopes with a 2-1 win over East Anglian rivals Norwich City on Sunday.

The promotion-chasing Suffolk side came from a goal down to secure victory in the derby clash.

It was a match dominated by Town but City took the lead in the fifth minute through a stunning Ched Evans strike.

The forward, on loan from Manchester City, drilled the ball into the bottom left corner from 25 yards after Ipswich lost the ball in midfield.

But the hosts hit back in the 12th minute through a bizarre own goal from City centre-back Alex Pearce.

Pearce diverted a drilled Haynes' cross into his own net from six yards as he attempted to clear.

Ipswich then went ahead in the 39th minute when Haynes latched on to a Pablo Counago through ball to convert past City goalkeeper David Marshall.

Town missed a host of chances to put the game to bed, but held on to move winth a point of the play-offs and boss Jim Magilton was delighted with Haynes' contribution.

"For the first goal he got into the right area. It's a good ball and then a composed finish for the second.

"We had Danny at his best and worst. He is a threat. He is getting better every game.

"I've got a lot of faith in him. He needs a little finesse but, when you have got raw power and pace, the finishing touches take a little bit of time."

Magilton predicted his side would have a nail-biting end to the season as they push for a play-off place.

"I think it's going to the wire," he added. "I hope it does go to the wire because it means we are still in the hunt. Today was big for us."
