Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna was full of praise for his side - and substitute Kasey McAteer's contribution - following the 2-1 win over in-form Derby County.
McAteer laid on the winner with a wonderful far-post cross for Leif Davis, who headed home an equally brilliant winner,
McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk: "I really enjoyed that one, maybe more than many games this year, and we've had some really good wins.
"We played some really good football - the first goal was a bit lucky but we should have been two or three up.
"We gave away a poor penalty when I didn't think they looked like scoring, but [we] had to show a response, and it was a brilliant response.
"He [McAteer] has been taking big strides in training. He has been doing really well, taking steps forward.
"We think there is a lot more to come from him, and, of course, when you get an assist like that for a winning goal, that is a big boost for him that I think has been coming. Really happy with his impact, and the other subs as well."
