Boss Jim Magilton conceded that the penalty which led to Patrick Kisnorbo's red card and Town's second goal was very harsh. However, the Town manager was pleased with his side's overall performance in the 3-1 victory over the Foxes.
Magilton said he wouldn't have been happy if the kick had been awarded against his side: "I would have felt hard done by. There might have been initial contact, but the lad got the ball and the referee went with his linesman.
"I have every sympathy with Leicester. It didn't look like a penalty and the red card was harsh as well.
"If they are appealing over the red card then we will support them, but that said I thought we controlled the game.
"I was delighted with the win - it was a professional job and we showed lots of character.
"We started very brightly, passed the ball well and scored a fantastic goal. We looked a threat going forward and were solid at the back.
"Then we let Leicester back in the game and it was a sloppy goal to concede, although it was a fantastic finish from their lad.
"I was pleased with the response we got after Saturday's defeat at Charlton. We passed the ball went and with better finishing, may have had more than the three goals.
"The penalty was obviously crucial and Alan showed plenty of character to stand up and take it after Saturday's miss, and we were always in control from there.
"It was a big win for us, that's for sure. We needed to get the three points to stay on track for where we want to be and I thought, in the end, we were comfortable."
Leicester boss Ian Holloway was unsurprisingly less than impressed with the penalty decision: "It wasn't a penalty. I thought it at the time and I've had it confirmed on a replay.
"It was outside the box and he played the ball. Patrick wasn't the last man so shouldn't have been sent off.
"The referee was overruled by his linesman and that's like me picking a team and then being overruled by my assistant.
"The whole incident was a complete kerfuffle, but the referee thanked me for keeping my dignity afterwards - and that's not easy for someone like me.
"At 2-1 down with only 10 men, it was too much of a mountain to climb against a side like Ipswich.
"They passed the ball well and have got some very talented players there. Their third goal ripped the heart out of us."
