McKenna delighted to be on right side of late drama as Ipswich sink Wolves
Kieran McKenna vowed to enjoy Ipswich Town's late win at Wolves, as they gave their survival chances a huge boost.
Kieran McKenna was delighted to see Ipswich Town on the right side of late drama as Jack Taylor's 94th-minute header handed them a vital win over fellow strugglers Wolves.
McKenna's men had been on the receiving end of late losses already this season, squandering valuable points at home to Leicester City and away to Brentford.
The Tractor Boys had already lost 15 points from winning positions in the Premier League ahead of Saturday's action, the most in the division this campaign.
Last weekend's home defeat to Bournemouth, which saw them concede two goals in the final five minutes to lose 2-1 having led for the majority of the match, was perhaps the most crushing loss of all and McKenna admitted it was a great feeling to experience the thrill of a late goal in their favour.
He told BBC Sport: "It is a really nice and brilliant moment for us, the supporters and everyone at the club.
"We have had some that have gone against us so it is nice to be on the other side of it."
The Ipswich boss refused to be drawn on the importance of a win against a team close to them in the table but was pleased to see his side bounce back after a three-game losing streak.
When asked whether the result could be crucial at the end of the season, McKenna responded: "Who knows?
"We have missed out on points lately that we feel we should have won.
"To pick up those points was really good. We will train this week and take each one as it comes. We will enjoy every one."
Ipswich will try to claim back-to-back victories for the first time this season when they host Newcastle United next weekend.
