Kieran McKenna, the manager of Ipswich Town, believed his team should have won the comeback home draw against promotion contender West Brom.
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna believed his team deserved all three points in their 2-2 home draw against West Bromwich Albion. Despite twice trailing, Ipswich Town managed to level the score each time and even had a late chance to secure the win with a shot from Ali Al-Hamadi, which was skillfully saved by West Bromwich Albion keeper Alex Palmer.
West Bromwich Albion took the lead with a goal from Tom Fellows in the 18th minute, but Ipswich Town’s Nathan Broadhead ended an eight-game goal drought, equalizing just 44 seconds into the second half. Despite Albion sub John Swift restoring the lead, Omari Hutchinson scored the equalizer for Ipswich Town in injury time, during a period when the home team intensely pressed for a victory, with Palmer making a crucial save on Al-Hamadi’s powerful spinning effort.
Reflecting on the match, McKenna expressed satisfaction with the overall performance of his team. He described it as a highly competitive game with a fantastic atmosphere, and lamented that a few inches at the end could have turned it into a classic among the games played at their stadium.
