Ipswich 1-4 Tottenham: Town rue missed chances

Ipswich Town can't have many more days like this, and manager Kieran McKenna knows it.

The Tractor Boys mauled Tottenham in the opening stages, with Liam Delap going close on three occasions.

The visitors were on the ropes, but Ipswich couldn't take advantage. Spurs' opener against the run of play rocked their confidence, and from then on McKenna's side were chasing the game.

"We had a great start to the game. I thought we were the better team in the first half, but we were not able to cash in on a good start," McKenna told BBC Match of the Day.

"Their execution was top and our defending in those moments wasn't good enough. They were clinical.

"We're into February and the games start to tick along and we need to pick up points."

Wolves' defeat of Bournemouth means Ipswich are now third bottom of the table and five points adrift of safety. If they are to escape relegation then they will have to take their chances when the come.
