    AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley tells Sky Sports: "It's wonderful. The occasion for our fans was going to be enough in the first place, from where we've come from.

    "But that second half, there was only one team going to win it - we were outstanding. The longer the game went on, the more likely we were going to win.

    "They (the fans) deserve it - they had their club taken away from them 14 years ago - now look at them."

    "There ain't no better way to leave this club. A sidebar - I think I'm now technically unemployed. So any managers, hit me up on Whatsapp and get me a job!"

    This is an absolutely fantastic occasion. No doubt about it, they were the better side, the side that turned up, the side that had more of a threat throughout the game. They're deserved winners.
