Luton Town boss Rob Edwards insists his team is still 'right in the tie' despite Sunderland winning the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final. The Black Cats came from behind to win 2-1 at the Stadium of Light, giving them a slender advantage to take into Tuesday's return game at Kenilworth Road.
Elijah Adebayo fired Luton into an early lead, but Amad levelled with a stunning strike before half-time and Trai Hume headed Sunderland in front just after the hour. But with just a single goal in it, and the home leg yet to come, Edwards insists his team are by no means out of it.
"It's half-time, we're right in the tie," said Edwards. "It was a really challenging game as we knew it was going to be - pretty tight, a fantastic atmosphere.
