Jack Clarke scored Ipswich Town’s 90th-minute winning goal against Sunderland in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.
Ipswich defeated Sunderland 2–1 at Portman Road on 22 August 2026. Clarke’s late strike completed a dramatic victory for Ipswich in their first match back in the Premier League.
The goal had an extra layer of significance because Clarke had previously played for Sunderland. Scoring against his former club made him a central figure in the opening-day story, especially because the winner arrived in the 90th minute.
Premier League match coverage noted that Clarke became only the third Ipswich player to score a 90th-minute Premier League winner. The earlier players were Fabian Wilnis, who did so against Coventry City in November 2000, and Jack Taylor, who scored one against Wolverhampton Wanderers in December 2024.
