Blackburn 2-0 Luton: John Eustace’s men claim sixth straight win

Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace:

“Amario Cozier-Duberry was outstanding. It was a brilliant performance from the young lad. He’s been training very well.

“He was close to starting probably four to five weeks ago before he got injured. But that first half he was virtually unplayable and he cored a great goal.

“What is the most pleasing thing for me is he’s an exciting player with the ball but he doesn’t half work hard without the ball as well. That’s something we have to have in this football team. We have Toddy Cantwell doing the same. He’s an excellent player with the ball but he’s doing the work without the ball as well.

“Owen Beck’s a top player. We’re really lucky to have him here. Top young player, learning his trade. His attitude is fantastic, he’s got good experience behind him with Harry Pickering so he’s growing and improving all the time.”

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards:

“Away from home, we quietened the crowd. They got a bit more of the ball but did not create too much.

“We showed a threat, had a couple of set-pieces, we were fine. Then one missed clearance in the build up to the first goal. The ball down the side – whether we need to put it out or not, I don’t know.

“We don’t deal with the throw-in, a missed tackle. Loads of bodies around in the box, we don’t deal with Cozier-Duberry, and it’s in the back of the net. Really poor defending of the box.

“We had a decent reaction after the first goal, when we go on the front foot again and then another ball down the side that we don’t play offside, or certainly not in that moment, we haven’t matched the run, so an easy ball down the side. It’s almost a gift and at 2-0, it’s a huge uphill task for us.”
