Luton boss Edwards 'really proud' after victory over Palace

Luton boss Rob Edwards was delighted after their 2-1 win against Crystal Palace.

Jacob Brown's goal marked a first ever Premier League win for Luton at Kenilworth Road.

Edwards said, “Really good, relief, I feel drained now as that was the longest game I've ever been a part of that didn't go to extra time.

"So relief, but pleased for the supporters, pleased for everyone connected to the club as it's been a long time coming here at home.

"I think we've deserved a bit more than what we've got here from some of the games. We were close against Liverpool, close against Wolves, Burnley could have gone another way really, but it's taken until today, that's fine. We challenged the players this week and I'm really proud of them, they stepped up well."

On waiting for the final whistle to blow, he added: “Horrible, it was tough, it was long.

"I tried to stay calm but I failed. A few times I was down the line like a maniac trying to get some information across, but trying to stay calm. The players, they are the ones who have got to find a way to get us over the line and they did that.

“They put us under a lot of pressure, and we did get a bit of fortune, but I'll take it."
