BBCWed, December 3, 2025 at 9:46 AM UTC·1 min readIpswich Town forward Sindre Walle Egeli insisted he had not been "stressed" about scoring his first goal for the club after finally breaking his duck in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers.
The 19-year-old's calm left-foot finish in added time at the end of the game salvaged a point for Kieran McKenna's side after it looked like they were about to suffer a second consecutive defeat.

"I've not been stressed about it but I'm glad it finally came. I've always scored goals in my career so I knew it would come at some point."
Egeli cost Ipswich a Championship record fee of £17.5m when he joined them from FC Nordsjaelland in the summer and has made 12 appearances so far.
Ipswich are at home to leaders Coventry City on Saturday, a game he thinks will "suit us very well", before facing fourth-placed Stoke City three days later.

"It will be my first time playing football at Christmas time. There's a lot of talking about it in Norway, everyone is excited about English football during Christmas time. I am ready for it," he added.
