Town Goal at Burton Awarded to Pigott - Ipswich Town News
Town’s goal in the recent 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion has been awarded to Blues striker Joe Pigott after a review by the EFL’s Dubious Goal Committee.
The 23rd-minute equaliser was initially recorded as an own goal by Brewers defender Tom O'Connor but it has now been given to Pigott, his first goal for the club.
"It was my goal, the defender flicked it onto me,” the former AFC Wimbledon man told the club website.
"My celebration might have been muted as I wanted to get the ball so we could keep the momentum.”
