Rob Edwards badly needed a result after Luton’s shoddy start to the season and his team delivered with a dominant performance in an emphatic derby victory. A hangover following last season’s relegation from the Premier League resulted in two wins from nine Championship matches – their worst start to an EFL campaign for 22 years – but Luton rose to the occasion to outmuscle Watford.
The hosts pounced for the opener through Jordan Clark’s close-range flick and the outstanding Carlton Morris marked his return to the team by heading in early in the second half before a stoppage-time goal from Jacob Brown completed this mismatch. Watford started the weekend in sixth but Luton made a mockery of this flattering position with Tom Cleverley’s team second best throughout.
