Luton boss Edwards: Important Mpanzu involved for win at Everton

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards felt it was ideal that midfielder Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu played in their first Premier League win.

The 29-year-old has been with the club since December 2013, when they were in the English Conference.

Mpanzu has been a part of the squad as they worked their way up through the entire footballing ladder and into the Premier League.

Speaking after their 2-1 win over Everton, Edwards stated: “I thought he was brilliant, I thought he was absolutely brilliant.

"Such personality, real good understanding, works so, so hard, as he always does, and yes, another one who covered every blade of grass.

"He came in seamlessly after not starting for a few weeks, and it was nice.

"It was probably fitting that he played a real big part in our first Premier League win."
