Post-match: Scunthorpe boss Wilcox

"It was an amazing game, an amazing day really. Looking at the first-half performance you're thinking it's not going to be our day.

"There were a few choice words at half-time - constructive ones - but a few choice words and a couple of changes, and what a second-half performance.

"We just bombarded their goal in the second half, and that's exactly what we wanted to do. We knew how important the next goal was."
