Luton boss Edwards delighted for Berry after special goalscoring moment

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards was delighted for Luke Berry after his goalscoring moment against Nottingham Forest.

It means the midfielder has now scored in the top four divisions of English football.

Edwards said: “It's a brilliant story. To score in all five divisions now, brilliant, a special moment for him and the football club as he's a club legend with what he's done for this football club, one of a number of them, so a really special moment for him.

“You just hope that something lands. When he's come on quite a lot this year, maybe eight times or so, he's been close on a number of occasions to something, so we're just thankful today in such an important game, he finished it really well."

Edwards also said: “We back him. Luke Berry is a really, really good footballer, very, very intelligent footballer and he's been doing that throughout his whole career.

"His timing's great in the box and he can always arrive, so when we bring him on, we know there's a goal threat there and I'm so pleased for him. To have a Premier League goal to his name, it's a really special moment for Luke Berry, but that's us and that's where we're at. He's a massive part of our squad and our football team and our club. We're not going to be able to throw on Callum Hudson-Odoi, we are who we are and I love that. I think that makes us unique and even closer together. It's a brilliant moment today, Luke Berry scoring."
