Luton 2-1 Crystal Palace: What Edwards said

  • Published

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards speaking to PLP: "I'm incredibly proud of the players today. It's the second time we've scored and someone has put one in the top corner immediately after but to go and get the winning goal... I'm really proud of them.

"You can't guarantee a win in football but the desire, the fight and the quality was all there for us. They put pressure on us but we got a little bit of luck.

"The goals were great. The set-pieces are obviously an area we work hard on. I thought Teden Mengi was outstanding today and he deserved his goal. The second goal - it was a phenomenal pass and Jacob Brown sprinted through to get that one-touch finish. It was a brilliant counter-attacking goal.

"It ended up being 13 minutes [stoppage-time]. I aged a little bit during that time! The fans were incredible. It was the first home win and it was a long time coming. We'll enjoy this tonight.

"We are a team that don't die, don't quit and keep fighting. We have some weapons. We know it will be tough and a real challenge but we have a good group. It's nice we got the points today we feel some of our performances deserve."
