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 recommending another look.

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