Jim Magilton was delighted with the style of victory as much as the scoreline after seeing Town record the biggest win under his management with a 6-0 victory against Bristol City.

A hat-trick from Jon Walters on top of goals from David Wright, a penalty from Tommy Miller and a solo effort from Pablo Counago clinched the three points.

"We had to get off to a good start and did that with the early goals," Jim told Ipswich World.

"The third goal was crucial. We spoke about it at half-time, the next goal being the key. If we got it, the game was won, if they got it, they were back in it.

"Once Danny got clear, they were never going to catch him. I felt sorry for the lad getting sent-off but with Tommy scoring from the penalty and Bristol down to 10 men, it was going to be a long way back for them.

"We passed the ball really well. I was as pleased with that as anything. We kept the ball going and we talk about that every day in training. We scored some great goals as well.

"I was delighted with all of them. Jon Walters will get the headlines and rightly so. I was thrilled for him that he got his hat-trick. He works really hard for the team. He's a really dedicated lad who wants to improve all the time."
