Luton Town boss Rob Edwards defended his players after a 2-1 home loss to Burnley.

Jacob Bruun Larsen struck an 85th minute winner after Elijah Adebayo had canceled out Burnley's opener scored by Lyle Foster.

Edwards said: "I am really proud of the players and the performance, I thought they gave everything.

"They shaded the first half, but in the second we completely dominated them, threw everything at them. We had 15 shots inside the box and scored once so that is an area we know we can improve in.

"If the performance is right you give yourself a chance of getting points on the board. If we don't perform we have no chance this year.

"We performed well and lost which shows the task we have.

"We will have disappointments this season and we need to be able to stick our chests out, believe in what we are doing. We are all pulling in the same, right direction.

"The fans will stick with us when they see us putting that effort in. They are proud of these players."
