IPSWICH TOWN manager Kieran McKenna hailed Tuesday’s League Cup victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers as “a really important signpost in the development of the team.”

The Championship pace-setters, Ipswich Town, defeated a Premier League side for the first time in 13 seasons following a scintillating comeback from 0-2 down to win at a rocking Portman Road.

Both sides made ten changes but it was the one Wolves player who started at the weekend, Hwang Hee Chan who made the breakthrough in the fourth minute when he swept home after the Tractor Boys failed to cut out a long crossfield ball from the right.
