'It's a significant result' - McKenna on dramatic 2-1 win at Wolves

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna knows this afternoon's last-gasp 2-1 win at Wolves is a 'significant result' for his side.

The Blues took the lead through Matt Doherty's own goal in a scrappy first half, creating a toxic atmosphere inside Molineux.

Cunha's equaliser completely changed the mood, and Wolves pushed for a winner, but it was Town who claimed all three points as Jack Taylor headed home a corner from fellow sub Jack Clarke in the 94th minute.

It was a moment that came six days on from a stoppage-time goal having been conceded in a 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth. And it's a win that opens up a three point gap over Wolves in the relegation zone.

"That's football!" smiled McKenna. "These are moments to cherish. We've had a few go against us this season (Brentford, Leicester and Bournemouth), but had plenty go for us prior to that (on the way to promotion). So there were no violins for us on that front.

"It was about doing the right things as often as we could, staying competitive in every game, keep working hard on every tiny little detail - our game model, our mindset, our psychology - and hoping we could turn the margins in our favour. Today we came out on top.

"To be honest, Wolves' position doesn't mean that much to me at the moment. But it's a significant result for us. We know we've been competitive in lots of games, we know we're doing lots of good things, but we also know that we've probably left a few points out there this season. It feels a really big win for us. I think any win in the Premier League is going to feel really big.

"Of course doing it in the manner we did, after the setbacks we've had over the last couple of weeks, since the (Manchester) United game really, makes it feel even more significant and even sweeter."

There were several flashpoints at the final whistle as players clashed in pockets. Wolves duo Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri both had to be restrained, with Ait-Nouri subsequently dismissed for a second booking in the tunnel.

Reports that Town striker Liam Delap was also booked in the tunnel - and thus will miss next Saturday's home game with Newcastle - have not yet been confirmed.

On all of the above, McKenna would only say: "I didn't see what happened. It's an emotional moment. I didn't see."

Reflecting on the game, he said: "We faced some difficult momentum after the equaliser, but up until that point I thought we were the better team. I thought we'd handled the game really, really well. Even in the second half I thought we had the game under really good control.

"We spoke during the week about how we managed 1-0 leads. We felt like we needed to be more proactive with the ball and do everything we can to try and get the second goal. To be honest, I thought we did that, we just didn't execute well in the big moments.

"Their goal comes against the run of play, then it's football. Away from home everything flips. They have the momentum, they're bringing on really good substitutes and we had to hang in for 10-15 minutes, make some big saves, some big blocks.

"What I will say is that in the six or seven minutes before the winner, I do think we went again. I thought the subs came on and gave us good impetus. Jack Clarke had a couple of good runs, Ali (Al-Hamadi) had a couple of good runs and the players weren't settling for a point.

"Once we got through that really tough spell we were pushing for the winning goal and it was a brilliant way to get it."
