Luton Town boss Rob Edwards praised Ross Barkley for handling his winning return to Everton.

Luton won at Goodison Park to reach the Fifth Round of the FA Cup.

Edwards said of his star midfielder: “Ross dealt with it really well, it's football, we're in the entertainment business and sometimes in football there's a bit of a pantomime villain.

"But this is Ross's club, he's from here, brought up here, played for this football club.

"He does love this club, so I'm not going to go into the past, but I thought he dealt with it really, really well."
