Sheeran spared McKenna’s blushes by leaving his guitar at home though. It was probably for the best because the Ipswich boss admits he’s “not very good” at karaoke.

“There were no sing-songs, but the players are delighted,” said McKenna. “They know this is a win to cherish, but they also know where we want to get to as a club – winning games in the Premier League – and we

Kayden Jackson wasted a huge chance to give the hosts an early lead, side-footing his close-range effort wide after meeting an inviting low cross that Nathan Mendez-Laing bent into the box with the outside of his boot.

Sainz was Norwich’s biggest first half-threat, as the Spaniard forced Derby goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom to palm a miscued attempt over the bar just minutes after he sent a skimming low shot just
