Manager Rob Edwards was full of praise for a ‘fantastic result’ as Luton Town secured a first win at Queens Park Rangers since 1984.
Carlton Morris scored a brace and Alfie Doughty rounded off a superb victory in front of over 1,500 Luton fans on a cold, windy night in the capital.
Speaking to BBC Three Counties Radio, the boss said: “It’s a fantastic result for us. A clean sheet, three goals, it doesn’t get much better than that. I don’t think the scoreline tells the full story. We’ve got to give QPR credit, they’re a good team. But I thought once we got the early goal and went one-nil up, they showed really good moments, great control and I thought we were fairly solid in our shape. To get the second when we did so early in the second half really just settled us down and I thought we managed the game pretty well."
On Alfie Doughty’s stunning strike, the first for the club, he said: “It was an amazing goal. Set pieces are always important we know that but the first and third goals tonight I thought were excellent. The third was a stunning, stunning goal.
“He’s a really good player, Alfie. He’s got really good personality, I like him a lot, he has a lot of attributes, a lot of quality and he’s only going to get better.”
Finally on Carlton Morris, Edwards added: “Carlton has been doing it for a while now so I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone at all. He’s an excellent player, brilliant team-mate, he’s so selfless in his work. I’m really pleased he got the rewards tonight with a couple of goals and gets the recognition as well, because he’s worked very hard and in the last few games not had too much of a sniff. I’m really pleased for him.”
