Two second-half goals within five minutes of each other from Conor Chaplin and Freddie Ladapo helped secure a third round success for the hosts in a game with three penalties.

Cameron Humphreys opened the scoring at Portman Road, only for Conor Washington to equalise for the visitors from the spot.

However, Chaplin and Ladapo gave the hosts control, before Wes Burns’ penalty confirmed the hosts’ place in the fourth round for the first time in 13 years as League One prevailed over the Championship.

“Up until Ipswich scored their first penalty I was relatively pleased with where we were in the game,” Millers’ boss Taylor. “But on the back of the goal we capitulated and that showed our lack of confidence at the moment.

“Was it a penalty? Probably not. Did we score a goal in the first half that shouldn’t have been disallowed? Yes. Are things going against us at the moment? Of course they are. But the scoreline at the end shouldn’t be a reflection on what the boys did today.

“I take the responsibility and the blame for the mistakes that were made. It is happening too often and has been happening for a long time now. Every time we make an error we seemed to get punished for it.”
