Cardiff City midfielder Aaron Ramsey has praised Ipswich Town following their 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.

The 33-year-old, who made 369 appearances in an 11-year-stint at Arsenal and has 86 Wales caps to his name, returned to his boyhood club in the summer of 2023, just weeks before the Bluebirds travelled to Portman Road in the Championship.

He scored the opener in that game before Joe Ralls added a second, but it was Town who took the points as Nathan Broadhead's strike preceded a brace from Freddie Ladapo, who secured a 3-2 win for the hosts.

Ramsey was impressed by what he saw from Ipswich in the Championship, particularly their hybrid formation that switches between a 4-2-3-1 and a back five, which he believes could be crucial for them to continue playing well and picking up results in the Premier League.

"They were a breath of fresh air, really," he said on Planet Premier League. Everyone was saying that the wheels were going to fall off, but they were just relentless.

"Last year we saw a lot of them in their back five and their wing-backs were so important to them.

"There's no coincidence that when they went to a back five against Tottenham, that might've felt a bit more natural or comfortable for them.

"Now they're just starting to find their feet and they're putting in some good performances now.

"I'm sure that will continue and they'll pick up results now, which will go a long way as the season goes on."
