United came back to take the lead when Bruno Fernandes’ cross was headed into his own goal by Sam Morsy before Matthijs de Ligt scrambled in a second. United ended the half level and down to 10 men after Dorgu was sent off for a high challenge and Philogene’s cross drifted past Onana.

Only Southampton have taken fewer home points than Ipswich in England's top-four divisions, while only the Saints, Morecambe and Shrewsbury Town have lost more often, but McKenna's men did earn a point when they faced United at home in the reverse fixture - which just so happened to be Amorim's first game in charge.
