Healy off the mark as Ipswich grab deserved point

DAVID HEALY came off the bench to score his first goal for Ipswich last night, securing another precious point in a 1-1 draw at Scunthorpe as they continue their bid to avoid relegation from the Championship.

Striker Healy, signed on loan from Sunderland last month, used his predatory instincts to slot home an equaliser 16 minutes from time and deny fellow strugglers Scunthorpe an undeserved victory at Glanford Park.

Six minutes earlier Iron skipper Cliff Byrne had put the home side in front with a close-range header on his 200th start for the club.
