Ipswich Town fan Ed Sheeran was at Portman Road on Sunday and the pop superstar was spotted celebrating joyously after an Omari Hutchinson wondergoal drew the home side level against Manchester United just before half-time.
United, under the management of Ruben Amorim for the first time, made a dream start and were in front within 80 seconds of the kick-off courtesy of Marcus Rashford’s fifth goal of the season.
But Kieran McKenna‘s plucky Tractor Boys responded superbly to going behind and they forced multiple saves out of Andre Onana before Hutchinson superbly picked out the top corner from more than 20 yards.
Hutchinson is becoming a bit of a long-range specialist as his last six strikes have all come from outside the penalty area.
His latest goal seemingly got the seal of approval from a beaming Sheeran, who was seen hugging those around him in the posh seats.
Sheeran attended Sunday’s game – which ended as a 1-1 draw – dressed in an official Ipswich club tracksuit with his initials printed above the Umbro badge.

Singer Sheeran is a lifelong Tractor Boys fan and became a minority owner earlier this year
The Shape of You singer is officially a member of the team at Portman Road, having bought a minority stake (1.4%) in his beloved club in August.
Sheeran has attended multiple matches so far this season.
He was at Ipswich’s first game of the campaign – a 2-0 defeat by Liverpool – although he had to leave at half-time in order to get to a gig in Serbia.
But Sheeran was able to stay for the full 90 minutes when Ipswich recorded their first league win of the season by beating Tottenham in London earlier this month.
Ahead of Sunday’s game, Sheeran visited a new mural that was recently created in his honour.
The artwork, painted on the side of a building on Sir Alf Ramsey Way near Portman Road, features two images of Sheeran.
One of the images shows Sheeran and a young boy and the other shows him as he looks now.
In both of the images, Sheeran is wearing Ipswich kit, while the artwork is accompanied by the words: ‘Tractor Boy’.
