Kieran McKenna expressed his joy as Ipswich Town secured a crucial victory against Wolves, thanks to Jack Taylor's 94th-minute header. This win was particularly satisfying for McKenna's team, who had previously suffered late-game losses this season, including matches against Leicester City and Brentford. Ipswich had lost 15 points from winning positions in the Premier League before this match.

Their recent defeat to Bournemouth was especially painful, as they conceded two goals in the final five minutes, losing 2-1 after leading for most of the game. McKenna acknowledged the relief and excitement of finally experiencing a late goal in their favour. He shared with 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."

Despite being asked about the significance of defeating a nearby team in the standings, McKenna chose not to speculate on its impact. Instead, he focused on his team's ability to recover after a three-game losing streak. When questioned about whether this result might be pivotal at season's end, McKenna replied: "Who knows? We have missed out on points lately that we feel we should have won. To pick up those points was really good."

He emphasised the importance of taking each game as it comes and enjoying every moment. Ipswich will aim for consecutive wins for the first time this season when they face Newcastle United next weekend.

This victory over Wolves marked an important turnaround for Ipswich Town. The team had been struggling with maintaining leads throughout the season, often losing valuable points in the closing stages of matches. With this win, they hope to build momentum and improve their standing in upcoming games.
