Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna said his side should have had a more comfortable afternoon after not making the most of their dominance in the 2-1 victory over third-tier Blackpool in the FA Cup third-round.

"We scored a really good first goal and we could have done better to get a second quicker," McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk following the victory at Portman Road.

"We moved the ball really really well and got into great positions. We are still working to find the last little bit in some of these games and it took longer to get the second goal than we wanted, but we got it from a set play and then it was a job done.

"The referee has decided to make it interesting, giving them a penalty that wasn't a penalty in the 94th minute. That made it a bit tighter but we should have killed the game off a bit earlier.

"Credit to Blackpool they kept going and did some good things in the game but we did as well.

"We want to go deep in the FA Cup and look forward to the draw. It would be nice to play a Premier League team, but the league is the priority."
