Luton Town boss delivered this verdict on the three controversial calls in Sunderland defeat.
Sunderland kept their place at the top of the Championship with a battling win over Luton Town
Luton Town boss Rob Edwards felt his side were harshly done by on Wednesday after Carlton Morris’s first-half strike was ruled out for offside.
Morris fired home from Daiki Hashioka’s flick on at a corner just before half time, only for the flag to be raised. Morris was onside, but the assistant referee ruled that Jordan Clark had interfered with play. Clark had been blocking Anthony Patterson and came back to the centre of the box try and meet the flick himself.
Edwards was full of praise for Sunderland’s quality and tenacity but felt that decision and the overall result were harsh on his side.
“We’re all flat, I don’t think we deserved to lose,” Edwards said.

“There was a slight concern after Saturday that it might after the lord mayor’s show and we wouldn’t produce the same levels and intensity but we did. They started well but after that pretty much the whole game, especially the first half, was [played] in their half. Our pressing was
amazing, the intensity was great – it just lacked the final bit. “That’s on me and we’ve just to keep working on that. I thought we’d scored the first goal through Carlton, I’ve looked at it back and I don’t think clicker [Jordan Clark] is offside. I don’t think he’s interfering with anyone but we don’t have VAR anymore so we’ve got to take it on the chin and deal with it. I think that should have been a goal.
