Hatters boss reveals Luton broke their transfer record to sign Barnsley striker Morris as forward nets again during United draw

Carlton Morris, Hatters captain, believes Town fans deserved the 3-0 victory over Watford at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, following a difficult start to the season.

 

Luton secured their largest derby day home win in over 40 years, with Morris, Jordan Clark and Jacob Brown scoring. Speaking to the club’s official website after the victory, which was only the Hatters’ fifth of the year, the captain said: “I enjoy these games, so to get another win in them, especially at our place, in front of our people, they deserve it. The lads give it their all every day in training, but this week’s energy was a little different.

 

“So for it to come to fruition like that, and a 3-0 win, is what dreams are made of really. I’m just delighted we gave ourselves, the staff and the fans something to cheer about. It is a cliched thing to say, but they really are a 12th man, it gives you extra energy. I can tell you from experience, when I feel like I’ve got nothing left and they get going, get behind you, it gives you that extra boost. So it’s important that we give it back as well.”

Morris was fantastic both before and throughout the game, as he was the cheerleader for the Kenilworth Road crowd before the game began, and he continued to pump them up positively even after the hosts won a series of set-pieces. The striker’s relationship with Elijah Adebayo was also virtually unplayable at times, as he used his physical presence to overpower veteran Premier League defender Angelo Ogbonna, who had previously played for West Ham and Juventus.

 

With Adebayo superb as well, he continued: “It’s our game, me and the big fella. We’ve built up a lot of rapport over the last couple of years. We like to think there’s not many that can deal with us and I think that showed today, but it means nothing without the back-line being as solid as they were and the midfielders all over the seconds and thirds, so it just all came together.”

The Town striker also found the back of the net with a close range header from Alfie Doughty’s corner early in the second half, taking his tally to three for the season after scoring twice in his last game against Sheffield Wednesday. When asked about his return to the team after a long absence, he said: “It was enormous. I’d been out for a few weeks due to a minor injury, so it meant a lot to be able to return and help the boys.”
