Ipswich 0-0 AFC Wimbledon: Joe Pigott misses spot kick as Dons denied deserved victory
Saturday 24 April 2021 18:38, UK
A missed penalty by Joe Pigott in the first half denied Wimbledon a deserved victory against Ipswich.
Town goalkeeper David Cornell made a double save along with a series of other fine diving efforts to keep the visitors at bay in the 0-0 Sky Bet League One draw at Portman Road.
The result helped Wimbledon to further secure their status and at the same time left Ipswich without a goal in six games. They are now 10 hours without a goal, a run which has virtually ended their slim hopes of sneaking into the play-offs.
Mark McGuinness blocked goalbound efforts from Ryan Longman and Jack Rudoni. Ayoub Assal fired just wide and Cornell went full length to tip aside a 20-yard shot from Luke O'Neill.
Ipswich had a let-off miday through the first half when Flynn Downes appeared to pull Pigott's shirt in the penalty area. However, Cornell saved the spot-kick.
