Luton boss Edwards reveals demand to players before Forest clash

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards revealed that he demanded his players get a result at the weekend.

The newly promoted club were 2-0 down to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

However, they roared back thanks to substitutes Ross Barkley, Andros Townsend and Elijah Adebayo.

Chiedozie Ogbene scored from a Townsend free kick, before Adebayo scored from Tom Lockyer's long ball.

Post-game, Edwards said: “We made our changes just before the second goal went in, so we'd thrown the dice.

"I thought initially the first minute or two it made a really good impact and then they got the second goal.

"They made some changes, but then we grew, we got momentum and once we got the first goal I really thought that we could go on and get a second.

“I challenged the players before the game to get something, to get a result because the last two games in my opinion at home against Tottenham and Burnley, we deserved to get more and we didn't.

"So it was about finding a way to get a result and I'm really, really pleased the players did that."
