Superstar musician Ed Sheeran was spotted celebrating rapturously after his beloved Ipswich Town equalised against Norwich.
The Tractor Boys drew 2-2 with their East Anglia rivals courtesy of a 60th minute goal from Wes Burns.
The draw moves them level on points with Leicester City at the top of the Championship table but with the Foxes still to face 16th place Birmingham on Monday night.
And watching on from the hospitality seating was lifelong Ipswich fan Sheeran, who gave the biggest cheers after Nathan Broadhead put Kieran McKenna's side 1-0 up.
Despite Norwich striking back in quick succession through a Jonathan Rowe brace, Sheeran could cheer again when Burns fired home the leveller with half an hour to go.
