Kieran McKenna makes Leicester City claim as he slams 'unacceptable' decisions
Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna hit out at “unacceptable” refereeing as he criticised two game-changing decisions in the 1-1 draw with Leicester City at Portman Road.
The Tractor Boys were denied their first victory of the season by Jordan Ayew’s 94th-minute equaliser, but it only came after the hosts had been reduced to 10 men. With around 12 minutes to play, Kalvin Phillips fouled Ricardo Pereira and was shown a second yellow card.
The incident came around 30 seconds after a strong penalty shout for Ipswich. As Conor Chaplin lined up a shot inside the box, Abdul Fatawu charged into him, knocking him to the ground.

McKenna felt referee Tim Robinson got both decisions wrong and that they proved to be the defining moments of the match. He said not even an ardent City supporter would have shown Phillips a second yellow.
“I think it was the decisive moment in the match again,” McKenna said. “I think it’s clear we were the better team at 11 v 11. We deserved to be 1-0 up and we should go 2-0 up. I think it’s a clear penalty. I don’t know how it’s not given at the time.
“The responsibility lies more with the referee than the VAR. He’s in position, Conor moves the ball onto his left foot, the winger comes steaming out to Conor and just steams into his stomach as he goes to take his shot. I don’t think it’s a debatable one.
“Then to compound that, a few seconds later in the most emotional bit of the game, when a ball’s bouncing on the edge of the box where both players have a right to go for the ball, and Kalvin’s tried to pull out of the challenge… I don’t think anybody would even look for a second yellow at that point.
“I’ve not seen the incident back and you can slow it down, but in the context of the game and after the penalty that should have been, it’s unacceptable in my opinion for a referee to put himself at the centre of the match like that. You’re not making one game-defining decision, but two, in pretty much the same incident. It was the defining moment of the game.
“I promised I don’t want to be the manager of the newly-promoted team talking about referees and the smallest team not getting things. But that’s how it’s played out in the past few weeks.
“I don’t think we got anything today. Not giving Conor the penalty was a reflection of the game. Giving Kalvin the second yellow when not even the most ardent Leicester supporter or player would be looking for a game-changing second yellow was reflective of how the game was refereed.”
Asked for his thoughts on the penalty decision, Leicester boss Steve Cooper, who was watching the game from the press box as he served a touchline ban, bizarrely said he hadn’t seen it. He also claimed that Phillips should have been sent off earlier than he was.
