In the 37th minute of the match, barely two minutes after Nikola Milenkovic opened the scoring for the away team, Elanga drove up along the right flank, cut in and placed the ball in the far corner of the goal to make it 2–0.
Four minutes later, he nodded the ball in between the central defenders and scored his second goal of the day.
Jens Cajuste, who played the entire match for Ipswich after being dropped from the national team, would also become a goalscorer. With just over ten minutes remaining, he rounded an opponent with a clever spin move and beautifully lifted in his first Premier League goal.
The match ended 4–2 to Nottingham – which solidifies their third place in the Premier League, five points ahead of Chelsea and one point behind Arsenal, both with a game in hand.
