McKenna acknowledged that the red card given to Ipswich's Leif Davis in the first half made it difficult for his team to get back into the game. However, he praised his team's defensive organization and spirit in the second half, saying they didn't give up too much.

McKenna also discussed how Arsenal's set pieces, particularly their short corners, made a big difference in the game. He noted that Ipswich struggled to deal with these situations, especially when they were down to 10 men.

Regarding the red card, McKenna said he didn't think Davis intended to injure Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, but acknowledged that the challenge was high and could be seen as a red card. He accepted the referee's decision and didn't express any complaints.
