Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna felt Brighton’s first goal deflated his team. The Tractor Boys were unable to get to grips with the Albion after they went behind, eventually losing 2-0. Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter goals meant that the three points and plaudits went to the seaside club.

Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter both scored as Brighton & Hove Albion ended a run of eight Premier League games without a win by beating Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road on Thursday.

McKenna confirmed there are no new injuries since their last match and said it is "not impossible" that Omari Hutchinson could feature. He added that Conor Chaplin is still a few weeks from returning, while Axel Tuanzebe is "not far away".
