Ipswich, with national team player Jens Cajuste in the starting lineup, decided three minutes into injury time and won the away game 2–1.

The loss was the fourth in a row for Wolves. But it was again the poor discipline among players that created new headlines.

Defender Rayan Ait-Nouri received a red card after the final whistle and completely lost his head. Chaotic images showed how he pushed away leaders and teammates before he could finally be led towards the player tunnel.

On Monday, Mario Lemina, another player, clashed with West Ham's Jarrod Bowen. In an attempt to calm down Lemina, he roughly pushed away a leader in Wolverhampton. Lemina was stripped of the captain's armband during the week for his bad behavior.

The dressing room is a tough place to be right now. We need to be honest with each other and take care of ourselves to figure out why we're not getting three points. Honest conversations need to be had, says midfielder Tommy Doyle.

Manager Gary O'Neil:

We're under a lot of pressure. I understand that the players are emotional, but we need to keep control better.

Wolverhampton is second to last in the Premier League and has four points up to the safe zone above the relegation line.
