JOHNNIE: IT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS!

JOHNNIE Jackson said he understands why Jurgen Klopp wants to take a break from management after Ronan Curtis snatched his Wimbledon side a last-gasp win against ten-man Mansfield at Plough Lane.

Jordan Bowery was sent off midway through a first half that also saw Omar Bugiel make a goalscoring return to SW17.

Will Swan stunned the home support in the second half, but Curtis had the final say in the seventh minute of added time.

“I can understand why Klopp wants to have a year out, and I’ve only been doing it two years,” joked Jackson.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling. Honestly, it’s as good as it gets in football when you score a last-minute winner.

“After probably as low as it gets on Tuesday to have that high, that’s football for you. That’s why we love it.”

The hosts suffered a 3-1 defeat to bitter rivals MK Dons in midweek, denting their play-off ambitions, but the win yesterday moved them up to eighth, two points off Notts County.
