Ipswich Town boss Jim Magilton had some sympathy for Leicester City following their 3-1 defeat by the Tractor Boys at Portman Road.
The Foxes had key defender Patrick Kisnorbo sent off shortly before half-time, before Alan Lee netted from the resulting penalty to put Town back in front at 2-1.
Magilton admitted: "I would have felt hard done by. There might have been initial contact, but the lad touched the ball and the referee went with his linesman.
"Their player was very unlucky to concede a penalty and be sent off.
"However, I was delighted with the win, it was a professional job and we showed lots of character.
"We started very brightly, passed the ball well and scored a fantastic goal. We looked a threat going forward and were solid at the back.
"Then we let Leicester back in the game and it was a sloppy goal to concede, although it was a fantastic finish from their lad."
