A goal in each half from Jaden Philogene and Jacob Greaves saw Town to a 2-1 victory over League One Blackpool at Portman Road and into round four of the FA Cup. The Blues had already had plenty of chances before Philogene’s 10th goal of the season gave them the lead on 35, Greaves nodded the second on 87 as the game continued in a similar manner after the break, before Ashley Fletcher netted an injury time penalty for the visitors, but Kieran McKenna’s side weren’t to be denied a victory in his 200th game in charge of the club.  13
