Dorgu was partially at fault for the Tractor Boys taking the lead after a comedy mix-up with keeper Andre Onana.

And just before the break he was given a straight red card for a potential leg-breaker on Omari Hutchinson.

Referee Darren England had not initially seen the challenge, with VAR spotting the infringement.

Dorgu dived in late on Hutchinson, who had slipped in the wet conditions at the Theatre of Dreams.

The 20-year-old’s studs planted down firmly on Hutchinson’s shin.

And England had no hesitation in showing a straight red card following the VAR check.

One fan gasped on X: “Yeeesh. That’s a leg breaker right there. Glad Hutchinson is okay.”

Another sighed: “This job only gets harder and harder for Amorim every week.”

While a third commented: “Should get more than three matches.”
