Rob Edwards expressed his pride after a landmark win for Luton at Everton.<\/p>\n
The Hatters\u2019 2-1 victory at Goodison Park was their first ever win in the Premier League and first in the top flight since April 1992.<\/p>\n
Tom Lockyer and Carlton Morris scored from set-pieces in the first half, with Everton pulling one back before half-time through Dominic Calvert-Lewin but unable to find an equaliser.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just very, very proud of the players and pleased for the club,\u201d said Hatters boss Edwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s a big moment, I get that. I don\u2019t want this to come across in any kind of arrogant way but I expected us to (win) today, I really did. I told the boys before the game, \u2018I know this is going to be a good day\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really believed we could come here and win the game. We had a really good plan. Everton have got some good players and they were very fluid, especially in that first half.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt 2-0 up there was a lot of movement, a lot of stuff going on. We had to adjust, which we did at half-time, then I thought we looked more solid again. I thought we deserved it. It felt great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luton\u2019s band of supporters celebrated with glee at the final whistle, and the three points were enough to lift the newly-promoted side out of the bottom three.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmazing day for the supporters,\u201d said Edwards. \u201cThey deserve it, our board deserve it. They\u2019ve really stuck with us. I know they\u2019re going to because we\u2019re on a brilliant journey and where the club has been. They\u2019re going to enjoy this.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s important we give them something to shout about as well, and not just, \u2018Well done lads, unlucky\u2019. They\u2019re amazing supporters, I love them. They\u2019ve travelled a long, long way today in the rain and they get to enjoy their day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everton began the game on the front foot and with optimism flowing that they could build on victories over Brentford and Aston Villa during the past week.<\/p>\n
But instead they suffered a fourth straight home victory, leaving manager Sean Dyche hugely frustrated at a big opportunity lost in front of their prospective new owners.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m disappointed in the result, obviously,\u201d he said. \u201cPerformances, broken-record time \u2013 dominated so much of the game, give away really poor goals and don\u2019t take our chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cChanging the story, which I\u2019ve spoken about endlessly this season, is our responsibility. We had a brilliant chance I thought today, a platform to begin the process of changing the story, the depth of it the last two years, all the noise and the rest of it, and we don\u2019t take it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very frustrating because the team are there, it\u2019s like, \u2018Go on then, change the story, be the person that makes the difference, don\u2019t wait for someone else to do it\u2019. Then it spreads like wildfire.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we sort of nearly do. Today just that weird thing when everyone\u2019s sort of looking for someone else to change it. It\u2019s an odd thing and I\u2019ve been trying to break it since I\u2019ve been at the club. And we keep trying.\u201d<\/p>\n
