Luton boss Rob Edwards praised the home support after their 1-0 win against Newcastle.

Andros Townsend proved the matchwinner on the day.

Edwards said: "They were with us, they were completely with us throughout the whole game. They know the latter stages we're 1-0 up, against a top team, a team that's been in the Champions League this year, they're going to throw everything at us and put us under pressure.

It's just natural, it's momentum, it's how football goes. We want to try and be aggressive and put pressure on the ball, which we did when we could, but the supporters made sure we got over the line today."

The match marked a tribute to captain Tom Lockyer as he recovers from an on-field cardiac arrest.

Edwards also said: "We did our job, we did it well, today was about doing it for Tom and I liked that. The fans were really respectful of that at the end as well. It was brilliant to be able to hold his shirt up. He's a leader and an inspirational character for us. It was a nice feeling at the end, an emotional one at the end, it was good."
