Ipswich not solid enough as Isak stars
The Straits Times|December 23, 2024
IPSWICH - Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna saw his team taught some harsh lessons as their defensive errors were clinically punished by a Newcastle United side who thrashed them 4-0 at home in the English Premier League on Dec 21.
Ipswich not solid enough as Isak stars

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was gifted two goals as he grabbed a hat-trick.

McKenna's Ipswich charges were often caught flat-footed or froze completely in the box as wingers Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon ran riot.

"Today we did not hit a good level. It's difficult when they score early in the game, but we can still overcome that," McKenna said after his side conceded 26 seconds into the game.

"Our game management was not good enough.

"We needed to stay more solid in difficult periods to give us a chance to stay in the game, we did not do that."
