Jodi Jones reflects on his 'amazing feeling' after scoring winner for Notts County

Jodi Jones, the match-winner for Notts County, has declared that his 120th-minute winner against Boreham Wood was one of the greatest moments of his professional career.

The Magpies overcame a two-goal deficit to secure their spot in the National League play-off final in one of the most thrilling matches the fifth division has ever witnessed.

Substituted in for Adam Chicksen, the 25-year-old blasted the ball past Joe McDonnell in the final moments of the game at Meadow Lane - his first goal since joining on loan from Oxford United in January.

Jodi Jones elaborated on the significance of scoring the goal that propelled Notts to Wembley, he said: "I would say it was up there with one of the best moments in my career.

"I have had, not to take it back to these moments, but I have had some tough times when I have been at previous teams when I have got to the play-offs, I have always had to miss it, and it has always been a sad time for me and my family, but that just tops of everything - it is an amazing feeling."

However, the Magpies didn't have an easy time, as they were trailing 2-0 at half-time due to goals from Femi Ilesanmi and Lee Ndlovu.

Jones described the half-time message he gave to his teammates before being brought into the game - emphasising his eagerness to come on and make a difference under such challenging conditions.

"When we were 2-0 down, it was a gutting feeling, but I said to the boys myself that we could have been three-nil up in the first 15 minutes, so why can't we score three goals in the second half?

"After that I was itching to get on because after that I knew I could get at their full-backs and new I could get the better of both of them and I knew what I could do when I got on the pitch.

"I was excited to get on and to get an assist and a goal and I can't really ask for more than that."

The final whistle was met with joyous celebrations from the home fans, who took to the Meadow Lane pitch to congratulate this exceptional team of players.

"It was crazy to be fair, I didn't expect it, but the fans were quality, and they have backed us all the way, and they did not stop singing.

"These are the things might not understand how much the fans have pushed us, so without the fans we would have never been able to win the game today, and we would never have been to be where we are in the season."
