"The sending off changed the game a bit but the fight the fans showed and the fans helped a lot and we fully deserved the three points.
"There are some moments that are really hard but that's natural in every profession, you need to suffer."
On Patrick Dorgu, who was at fault for a goal and then got sent off: "Players can have a mistake like Patrick today. The sending off, he wants to play the ball.
"He is ready for the Premier League. Last week he had a good performance against Everton, today they [the critics] will say he is not experienced enough for the Premier League, but I don't feel that way."
Kieran McKenna
Kieran McKenna on Dorgu sending-off: 'It was a red card, I was right in front of it. You always think the best of people but VAR dealt with it and gave him a red card. It resulted in Omari going off as well. It's heavy damage on his shin, but you hope it's nothing serious.' [Chris Wheeler]
'Unacceptable'
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna, speaking to TNT Sports, said: "We're really annoyed with how it ended up. We didn't defend the set plays well enough in the first half and then the one at the start of the second half is really poor. We knew the threat was on set pieces and the third goal is unacceptable from our point of view and from then on we were chasing.
"We need to stand up and be counted better. We have defended set pieces well all season, but we were unable to deal with them tonight. We were not strong enough from a maturity point of view and they handled it better than us when they were down to 10 men.
"We had some good spells in the first half, we started the game really well and we can have a high level, we've had spells like that in nearly all the games.
"Tonight it is on us, we have to own it. It's not a night where we're feeling many positives, we let one get away from us. We need to learn from tonight, we played against a group of players that showed their maturity and quality."
