AFC Wimbledon manager Jackson: Chelsea a great Cup draw

AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson has welcomed their Carabao Cup draw against Chelsea.

The League One Dons will go to Chelsea for second round of the League Cup. They earned the tie after this week's first round win against Coventry City.

Jackson said: "It's a great draw and reward for what the boys did tonight.

"We'll get to go to a Premier League club and not just any Premier League club - a top side.

"It is great for everyone involved with the Club - and I'm delighted.

"The boys deserve this because of their efforts tonight. They've earned the opportunity, so we'll go to the Bridge and give it a go."
