Ipswich’s second goal starte when under-fire goalkeeper Robert Sanchez opte to pump the ball long rather than play it short, against Maresca’s tactics.

‘I think we starte quite well, creating chances. Then when they score the first goal, the game completely change,’ Maresca said in his post-match press conference.
‘The dynamic of the game, I think for 20-25 minutes until the first half, we were not good enough, especially defensively, because the two goals we concede were from our mistake.
‘I think we lost a little bit of confidence, because we concede, probably because of the environment. This is the moment that you have to continue doing the right things and don’t change the plan.
‘Also because we are a team that most of the time, our goal kick will start from playing short.
‘The second goal, we decide to play long, because the environment is there, and we concede the second one. You have to be strong, you have to continue with the things that you are doing.
‘But I can understand, because probably we concede the goal, and they decide to play a long ball. But sometimes, I said many times, sometimes you go long, it doesn’t mean that you are going to control something. The second goal we concede is for that.’
