Wycombe miss late penalty to draw top-of-the-table Ipswich clash

Wycombe had to settle for a goalless draw at Ipswich after missing a late penalty to extend their advantage at the top of Sky Bet League One.

Luke Chambers headed home Luke Garbutt's corner but referee Alan Young disallowed the goal for offside after consulting linesman Aaron Farmer.

Kayden Jackson was adjudged to have turned the ball home but television replays suggested the final touch came off a Wycombe defender.
