Marcus Bent (9) Marcus Stewart Marcus Bent (10 each) (vs Manchester United, 27 Apr 2002, Premier League) (vs Derby County, 21 Aug 2001, Premier League) During the 2001–02 English football season, Ipswich Town competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

A year after finishing fifth in the Premiership and earning George Burley the title of "Manager of the Year", Ipswich dropped back into Division One after two years among the elite after falling victim to second season syndrome. A dismal start to the season saw their UEFA Cup dream end in the third phase of the competition, while after 18 games they were still bottom of the Premiership with just one win. A turnaround then followed and seven wins from eight games pulled Ipswich up to 12th and appeared to have secured their survival. But another slump set in and this time they were unable to halt it. Any lingering hopes of survival were ended on the final day by a 5–0 defeat against Liverpool.

Despite losing their Premiership status, the Tractor Boys still had European action to look forward to. They attained UEFA Cup qualification via the UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking.
