You’ll be shocked to learn the reason why the players from Ipswich Town were disappointed despite Rotherham’s performance!
Ipswich Town defender Leif Davis admitted the players are ‘disappointed’ in their performance against Rotherham United, despite scoring a stoppage-time winner to claim a 4-3 victory, which moved the Blues up to third in the Sky Bet Championship.
It looked like the Millers had snatched a point in additional time in the second half when substitute Cafu audaciously dinked a penalty into the back of the net to level the score at 3-3.
But Ipswich never do things the easy way, and in the sixth minute of injury time, Omari Hutchinson hammered home a volley to send Portman Road into raptures.
The win moves the Blues level on points with second-placed Leeds United, after Southampton’s defeat at home to Hull City, and Kieran McKenna’s side are only outside the automatic-promotion places on goal difference.
“It was a tough 90 minutes. It just goes to show the quality we do have,” said Davis.
“We lacked a lot of composure in the game. We are disappointed in the performance and we can play miles better. The level wasn’t good enough tonight.
Omari Hutchinson netted a dramatic winner five minutes into injury time a minute after Rotherham had levelled as Town came from behind to beat the bottom-of-the-table Millers 4-3 to climb to third in the Championship. Wes Burns scored twice and Kieffer Moore once as the Blues came from a goal down, scored by Tom Eaves in the second minutes, to give Town a 3-1 half-time lead but the South Yorkshiremen pulled one back via Hakeem Odoffin on the hour, then, with Town having been a shadow of their usual selves, Cafu netted a controversial penalty in the 94th minute before Hutchinson’s heroics a minute later won what could prove three vital points for the Blues.
The game was less than a minute and a half old when the visitors took the lead from their first attack.
The Millers made four changes from the team which lost 1-0 at home to Watford on Saturday with Sam Clucas, Tom Eaves, Lee Peltier and Jordan Hugill coming into the team for Cameron Humphreys, Sam Nombe and Charlie Wyke, who dropped to the bench, and Sebastian Revan, who was left out of the 20-man squad.
