Edwards’ tears as Luton on brink of relegation | ‘I’m at fault’- VIDEO

Luton manager Rob Edwards was visibly emotional after his team’s 3-1 defeat to West Ham all but confirmed their relegation from the Premier League. Despite a mathematical chance of survival, the reality of their likely return to the Championship sank in, exacerbated by Nottingham Forest’s defeat against Chelsea.

The immense task of overturning a 12-goal deficit on the final day loomed large for Luton, who face Fulham in what is poised to be their last Premier League game for at least a season. Edwards, acknowledging the grim reality, expressed gratitude towards his players, staff, fans, and the board for their support during his tenure.

The defeat would have sealed Luton’s fate earlier if Nottingham Forest had held on to their lead against Chelsea. However, late goals from Chelsea dashed Forest’s hopes of survival, putting their celebrations on hold.
