POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: Brewster Reacts To Ipswich Draw And Maiden Rams Goal

Striker Rhian Brewster offered his thoughts after he opened his Derby County goalscoring account in the 2-2 draw at Ipswich Town in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon.

After the hosts took the lead in the 33rd minute, Derby mounted a comeback with Carlton Morris converting from the spot five minutes after half-time and Brewster netting a coolly taken effort in the 70th minute to put them in front.

But a late penalty for the Tractor Boys cruelly denied the Rams maximum points in Suffolk.

Brewster, who joined the club from Sheffield United during the summer, spoke to RamsTVafter his goal on his first league start for Derby contributed towards taking a point against a side that was playing in the Premier League last season.

On taking a point away from Portman Road…

We're disappointed not to take away the three points because we worked so, so hard from the first minute. I thought we were in the game for 100-odd minutes, and reflecting on the match we've got so many positives to take from it, but also some negatives that we will only get better at and that we can work on now in the international break.

We're going to stick together, work hard as a team over the next two weeks, and take the positives into West Bromwich Albion in a fortnight.

On scoring his first goal for the club…

It was good to do it in front of the fans - to celebrate in front of them. My family and my friends were up in the crowd. It was a good goal, but I need to keep working hard to score more.

On utilising the upcoming international break to kick on…

We're going to go to the training ground and work hard to keep pushing, because we're disappointed not to come away with the three points today. We were fatigued towards the end, so we need to get fitter and better as a team.
