Sheff Utd   3 - 3   Ipswich

Sheffield United 3-3 Ipswich Town

Sheffield United 3-3 Ipswich Town

Chris Morgan scored an injury-time equaliser to deny Roy Keane's Ipswich their first league win of the season.

Darius Henderson headed the hosts into a ninth-minute lead before Jonathan Walters's clever backheel made it 1-1.

Keeper Mark Bunn allowed Grant Leadbitter's 25-yard shot in to put Ipswich 2-1 up and Gareth McAuley's header looked to have sealed the win.

But Henderson reduced the deficit after good work from Glen Little and Morgan forced in the equaliser.


Sheffield United assistant boss Sam Ellis:
"We won't get a better point all season.

"To not play well and be second best all night shows the character of the team and that's what got us the point here tonight."

Ipswich boss Roy Keane:
"It's got nothing to do with luck.

"We were 3-1 up and should have seen it out but it was two bad goals to concede. We gave the ball away cheaply.

"There was a spell in the second half where we needed one or two players to see the game through but nobody did."
