Sheffield United remain pointless and rooted to the bottom of the Championship table after they were thumped 5-0 by Ipswich on Friday night.
The result means the Blades have lost five straight games at the start of the season for only the second time in an EFL campaign. The last time was in the second tier in 1995/96.
Ruben Selles' stricken side have not scored since the opening day of the season.
Jaden Philogene scored a brilliant hat-trick - the first of his senior career - with George Hirst and Jack Clarke adding to the emphatic scoreline that gave Town their first league win of the season.
Speaking to Sky Sports before kick-off, Selles said he and his staff had "analysed what we were doing in absolutely everything" during the course of the international break.
And, in truth, there were few early signs this was a team sitting bottom of the Championship table. But when it rains, it pours.
Ipswich fired a warning when Hirst, then Chuba Akpom, narrowly missed the chance to divert a trademark peach of a cross from Leif Davis home but, 10 minutes later, they hit the front when Philogene profited from Davis' smart decoy run to find an extra yard and lash a shot into the bottom right corner.
The Blades ended the first half with five attempts - but, crucially, zero on target, as had been the case in the entirety of their two prior away defeats to Swansea and Middlesbrough.
Philogene added a cracking second within five minutes of the restart after another driving run, and before Selles had managed to make a planned quadruple change on the hour, Hirst made the most of a comedy of errors at the back to fire a third through Michael Cooper's legs.
Philogene - a £20m signing from Aston Villa in January - completed his treble in thunderous fashion with just over 20 minutes to play, before the gloss was added when Ben Godfrey allowed Clarke to chest down a ball from the left and slot a fifth past Cooper.
Selles looked aghast as the final whistle blew as the pressure on him skyrocketed.
