Luton midfielder Jordan Clark proud of Prem goal

Luton midfielder Jordan Clark admitted to his pride at scoring a Premier League goal.

The 30-year-old has been a journeyman in the game, playing in the lower divisions.

He is now at the top end of the English game, after he scored in a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at the weekend.

On the goal, Clark stated, per Luton Today: “I hadn't thought about it too much, I'm just glad we won. We said today it doesn't matter who scored, own goals, whatever, as long as we win the game, so I'm just buzzing for the win. I'm sure I'll reflect in a little but when I've calmed down and the adrenaline has stopped pumping through me, so obviously a proud moment, a bit selfish, but a proud moment.

“It always crosses your mind, especially from the journey I've had, it's been a long slog. You want to score, you just want to play one game and score one goal, that's the target you set as you never know what's going to happen in the future with injuries. I was doing a lot of rehab and you can come back and you might get reinjured.

“You pray for one game, you pray for one goal, I've been lucky, touch wood. I've been fit since I've been injured, so it is a nice little milestone for myself, but we always said it wasn't about who scored. We just knew we had to win, no matter who scored, just by any means necessary as we knew how important this was for the run-in that's coming up."
