Luton Town head coach Rob Edwards hailed Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.

The duo ripped the newly promoted Premier League club to shreds in the FA Cup this week.

City were 6-2 winners in the fifth round over Luton, progressing to the quarter finals.

Post-game, Edwards said: “We've come up against the best nine and 10 combination I've seen, certainly I've seen live anyway.

"I know there's people like Lionel Messi that might have something to stay on that, but the combination of Erling Haaland and De Bruyne tonight were pretty sensational and the supporting cast around them wasn't bad either. So there's some reality in our room that we've come up against some brilliant, brilliant players. We've given it everything, it was an entertaining game and that's important, but it's also important that we get better and I think we'll do that, the lads will respond well

"There's always things we can do better, I'll look back and go, right, what can I take from it, where can I learn? Where can I help us improve? There's no doubt about it, they were incredible and they played to the space that we gave them and did it very, very well. But look, our lads were incredibly brave and bold, stuck to the task and stuck to what I'm asking them to do and we're committing to doing.

"Sometimes when you're quite brave and bold and you come up against that kind of team, you can come unstuck and we did tonight. We're not going to change, we've just got to get better, keep improving and we're not going to come up against that thankfully every week."
