Luton defender Osho: Burke incredible for Wembley win

Luton Town defender Gabe Osho didn't hold back on his views of teammate Reece Burke.

The centre half came off the bench within 10 minutes of their Championship play-off final win against Coventry City.

When Tom Lockyer had to come off, the ex-West Ham man was thrust into action.

Osho stated, per Luton Today: “I've said to Burkey about a hundred times since the game, I thought he was incredible, especially coming on as a defender.

"Coming on as a defender is one thing in a normal game, but to come in in a final like that after being out injured for quite a long time as well is incredible.

"He looked so strong and so fit.

"I don't know how you prepare for it mentally, going into a game of that stature where you're not going to be in the starting 11, so to come on that early in the game and play as well as he did, just full credit to him, he was incredible."
