Luton boss Edwards pleased with Cup win at Bolton

Luton boss Rob Edwards is happy to be alive in the FA Cup after their replay win at Bolton Wanderers.

The Hatters won 2-1 with Tahith Chong and Chiedozie Ogbene scoring after Dion Charles had Bolton in an early lead.

Edwards said afterwards: "Pleased we are through, tonight was about winning. Not at our best, sloppy in too many moments, allowed them to build into the game.

"We had to manage a few tonight. But we try to win every match we go into, I genuinely mean that. We found a way to win tonight.

"We're going away for some warm weather, getting training in and time together, down time together. Has been a tough season so far, everything with Locks as well, it has been an emotional time."

On the Fourth Round, he added: "In a way it is better to play a Premier League team. We know we have to be full tilt. This game we just dropped a bit, and you can't do that. Bolton are a big club, but when we are favourites, we took our foot off the gas and Bolton could have punished us. But lots of good play by us, just a little sloppy in final third."
