Footage shows wild Ed Sheeran celebrations after Ipswich goal against Norwich

Ipswich are taking on their local rivals at Portman Road in the first East Anglian derby in four years - and it has not disappointed.

The Tractor Boys took the lead but two goals from Jonathan Rowe put the visitors ahead.

But Burns struck a delicious strike just after the hour mark to see the match go 2-2 with the home fans in fine voice.

That included pop artist Sheeran, who is a huge Ipswich fan and among the Portman Road cohort and was spotted celebrating ecstatically.

The Bad Habits singer grabbed the nearest person to him and shook them in jubilation with Ipswich flying high in the Championship.
