Grimsby suffered their first home league defeat of the season despite twice taking the lead through Ron Rafferty.

It left Town in 12th place with 17 points from 18 games. Fulham led the division with 28 points. More

The ball was also in the net on three other occasions, two efforts by Ipswich and one by Brighton being ruled out for offside. More
