AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson hailed his team’s ‘vintage’ display as they continued their push for a place in the League Two play-offs.

The victory was only their sixth success away from home this season, but two goals in the final ten minutes keeps eighth-placed Wimbledon very much in the hunt.

“I think it was vintage Wimbledon,” Jackson said. “It was a brilliant away performance and everything you want and expect from a Wimbledon team.

“They showed graft, hard work for the shirt, very disciplined and we came with a game plan and the lads were outstanding.”

It was the third consecutive time Wimbledon had kept a clean sheet this season, something Jackson insisted was pivotal against a side with the attacking qualities of Notts County.

“I am delighted, that is now three clean sheets in a row,” he said. “We have been defending very well but you know coming here with the players that they have got, you are going to have to do that for sure.

“The moments they did have with the balls coming into the box, we dealt with it, but our defensive structure starts from the front and to a man they did it brilliantly.”
