Captain Carlton Morris praised the Luton Town supporters for their constant backing after netting the late winner against AFC Bournemouth at Kenilworth Road this afternoon.
Morris steered home substitute Cauley Woodrow’s arced cross in the 90th minute to seal a come-from-behind victory after Jordan Clark’s maiden Premier League goal had cancelled out Marcus Tavernier’s opener for the visitors.
“It’s just out of pure emotion really, because it’s what the fans deserve recently, it’s what we deserve and finally our effort and performance has been rewarded with three points,” said the striker.
“If there is anything we’ve shown this year it’s that we’ve got character, and we have put it on show again today and this time it has come to fruition with the points, which is the most important thing.”

On the importance of the unwavering support of a packed Kenny, Morris went on: “It’s huge, they’ve been incredible every week and I’ve said it every time I’ve done press, I can’t speak highly enough of them.
“They’ve been with us every week when we’ve been on bad runs and when we’ve been on good runs, that’s going to be huge in the last few games.”
After netting his ninth goal of the season, Morris added: “It’s important for a striker to score goals and it’s all I want. I’ve been pretty happy with my return this season, but I’m going to keep trying to score every week.”
And looking ahead to preparations for next Saturday’s trip to reigning champions Manchester City, Morris said: “We focus on recovery, analyse and rest and make sure our bodies are in the best place because there is no secret, the amount of injuries we have, it puts more pressure on the lads who are putting a shift in every week.
“So it’s about recovering and focussing on that game, but it’s no free hit, we’ll be going there looking to get something out of that game for sure.”
