Luton Town Earn Crucial Victory Over Cardiff City: Rob Edwards' Assessment

Edwards Expresses Delight Over 'Important' Triumph

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards hailed his team's "important" 2-1 win over Cardiff City in the Championship on Saturday, February 11th, 2023. The victory moved Luton up to 11th in the league standings, just three points off the playoff positions.

Edwards was pleased with his team's performance, particularly their resilience in the second half after Cardiff had equalized. "I'm delighted with the win," Edwards said. "It was an important game for us, and we showed great character to come back and win it."

Match Highlights

Luton took the lead in the first half through Elijah Adebayo, but Cardiff leveled through Callum Robinson just after the hour mark. However, Luton refused to be denied and snatched a late winner through Harry Cornick in the 86th minute.

The victory was Luton's first in four matches and lifted them to 11th in the Championship table. Edwards will be hoping his team can continue their good form when they face Rotherham United at home on Tuesday, February 14th, 2023.

Edwards' Post-Match Comments

Edwards praised his team's fighting spirit and determination after the match. "We showed great character to come back and win it," he said. "We knew it was going to be a tough game, but we stuck to our game plan and got the result we deserved."

Edwards also praised the impact of his substitutes, particularly Cornick, who scored the winning goal. "I'm delighted for Harry," Edwards said. "He's worked hard all season, and he deserves his moment. He's a great player, and I'm sure he'll score many more goals for us."

Looking Ahead

Luton will be looking to build on their victory over Cardiff when they face Rotherham United on Tuesday. Edwards will be hoping his team can continue their good form and push for a playoff place.

Rotherham are currently in 22nd place in the Championship, but they will be no pushovers. Edwards will need his team to be at their best to get a result.
