'It's a sore one': 'Gutted' Paul Lamber reflects on Ipswich Town's dramatic stoppage-time defeat to Blackpool

Joe Nuttall came off the bench to head home a 92nd-minute winner for the Seasiders in what was an entertaining affair at Bloomfield Road.

Just seconds before, Freddie Sears squandered a priceless chance to win the game for Ipswich only to be denied by Pool keeper Chris Maxwell.

Sears had earlier levelled for the visitors in the second half after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall had given Blackpool the lead with his second goal in as many games.

But Nuttall snatched the winner at the death to condemn Ipswich to a fifth defeat in their last seven games.

"It's a sore one because I don't think we deserved to even draw the game. I thought we deserved to win the game," Lambert told the East Anglian Daily Times.

"I thought we should have had a penalty in the first half. Freddie has got his body between the man and the ball - and everybody knows, if you're in front and there's a slight touch, then that's a penalty.

"It doesn't matter if the referee doesn't think there's enough of a touch. That's wrong. It's still a penalty. If that was on the other side of the box then I think it would have been a free-kick."

On the dramatic end to the game, he added: "I thought Freddie was excellent. I don't know how much he had left in the tank.

"When he was going through there I thought he was going to poke it by the keeper, but then their goal...the ball travels 70 yards and then we should have dealt with it.

"We should have stopped the cross. Garbs (Luke Garbutt) should have stopped it travelling that way anyway. Josh Earl could have also stopped the cross.

"Then when it gets in the box anything can happen. That was gutting."
