Jackson ecstatic over Wimbledon side's Carabao Cup triumph against Ipswich

The underdog team emerged victorious against the Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town.

As the latter rested players, they were beaten 4-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time. 

“I think it is probably the highlight so far I would say,” said Jackson, who played alongside Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna at Tottenham.  

“Certainly one of them anyway. 

“That is the third time coming up against Kieran as a manager and it has not gone great for me in the previous couple. 

“So to win tonight against such a talented young coach is nice on a personal level and I am just really pleased for the football club to have a night like this. 

“For us as a football club to have a night like this, beating a Premier League team, it is outstanding. 

“Obviously my old striker (Ali Al-Hamadi) popping up with a goal after three minutes, you think oh hell, you knew that was going to happen. 

“For 15 to 20 minutes they had their way with us and I was a little bit concerned that the game might get away from us.”
