Watch: Daryl Murphy Had A 33rd Birthday To Remember On Tuesday

Ipswich maintained proximity to the Championship playoff places with a 2-0 win against Blackburn at Portman Road on Tuesday evening.

They are currently in eighth, just a point off Sheffield Wednesday who occupy the final of the playoff spots.

Both of Ipswich's goals came from Ireland international Daryl Murphy, his ninth and tenth of the season. It was also his birthday on Tuesday - he's a spritely 33.

The first game from the penalty spot, the second was a superb strike - momentarily reminiscent of his glorious goal for Sunderland against Wigan a little over eight years ago.

Murphy went through a severe goal drought early in the season. It took his 16 games to break his duck.

Ten goals this season leaves him a long way off his Championship top scorer total of 27 for 2014/15.

Here's that goal from 2008.
