Ipswich continue winless start to pre-season

Ipswich Town continued their winless start to pre-season with a 2-0 defeat by League One side Oxford United at Kassam Stadium.

New manager Gary O'Neil has now failed to win his first three fixtures in charge, albeit pre-season friendlies, after the Tractor Boys were held to a goalless draw by Cartagena and beaten 2-1 by Osasuna.

Kasey McAteer went close to getting the opener straight after half-time with a cross that was deflected onto the crossbar, but Wes Burns could only hit the side netting on the rebound.

However, it was Oxford United defender Jack Currie who found the breakthrough in the 61st minute with an unmarked tap-in at the back post.

The English third-tier side then capitalised on a defensive error to double their lead through Stanley Mills with less than 20 minutes left to play.

Ipswich Town will field a different XI later on Saturday (16:00 BST) when they face Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park Stadium.
