Luton Town are gelling and becoming a team, according to midfielder Thelo Aasgaard.

The Norwegian scored his first goal for the club in Tuesday's Championship win at Cardiff, having arrived from Wigan Athletic in January.

"It's hard to sum up in words but it's an unbelievable result and the lads carried out the game plan really well," Aasgaard told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"We knew before it was a big game but we approached it really calmly and even going 1-0 down we showed great character to stay in it and show our quality in the end."

The Hatters' second victory in their past three games moves them to within two points of safety and Aasgaard feels they have shown they are more than capable of escaping the drop.

"The message at half-time was to 'go for it, believe in yourselves'. We got the ball in the final third but it wasn't quite there with the final pass, final cross and so it was to believe in ourselves a bit more and we did.

"If you get too emotionally attached during a game you can get too down but we were really calm and there's such great character in this group, we're gelling really well and we're really becoming a team now and have picked up some important wins."

Luton host eighth-placed Middlesbrough on Saturday.
