Edwards frustrated with VAR: A different rule for Luton...?

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards insists they deserved a first-half penalty in defeat at Fulham.

Carlos Vinicius jumped from the bench to score the only goal of the game in the second-half.

But Luton had a good shout for an earlier penalty after Harrison Reed appeared to foul Carlton Morris.

VAR rejected the call and Edwards later said: “We're in the game right the way until the 94th and a half or whatever it is minute.

"Four and a half minutes? I'm sure other teams are getting a lot more extra time than we are added on when chasing, but anyway, I'm very proud of the lads.

"I think we missed three golden opportunities today, we had three brilliant chances, Browny's header in the first half which hit the woodwork, Amari'i Bell's one and Tom Lockyer right at the end.

"Three big, big chances and I think we should have had a penalty as well.

"I think the foul on Carlton Morris from the wide freekick, where Reed's not looking at the ball and he fouled him, anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul.

"So we should have had a penalty and I think we could have been in here talking about a very different result now.

"I do genuinely think we should be here talking about us getting something from the game."

He added: “It does get checked, every decision like that will get checked.

"I've looked at it back and I do think it should be.

"There was one in the build-up that got given, that's what I was saying, maybe inside the box, outside the box, is there a different rule?

"I don't know, maybe there's just one for Luton."
