KIERAN McKenna told the Ipswich fans to celebrate their latest success – but ordered his players to forget about joining them.
The terrific Tractor Boys continued their charge towards the Championship with a comprehensive success that knocked Peterborough back out of the play-off places.
An 11th win in 12 games of a stunning 16-match unbeaten run looked inevitable from the moment Wes Burns pounced on a rebound to fire Ipswich ahead in the 17th minute after Nathan Broadhead’s shot was saved by Posh keeper Will Norris.
The opener was soured when celebrating Ipswich players were spat at by a supporter, who was arrested.
Top-scorer Conor Chaplin doubled the Town lead just before the hour when firing through the legs of Norris to provide a fitting finish to some brilliant Broadhead approach play.
Super-sub Freddie Ladapo then jumped off the bench to bag his 20th goal of the campaign with a classy volley late on.
Ipswich remain a point behind table-topping Plymouth and a point clear of third-placed Sheffield Wednesday with all three sides now smashing through the 90-point barrier for the season.
