Luton Town had a stunning result at the weekend as they beat Derby County 1-0 to move above Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest and into the promotion play-off spots.
Danny Hylton’s 67th minute goal was enough to secure the crucial three points for the Hatters and make it three successive league wins.
After the win, Luton boss Nathan Jones said: “It’s massive, it shows we’ve come a long way.
“Midweek was a big win (at Stoke), away at the stadium and against my old club and they showed that they wanted to play for me, not just the club, but really get a result for me as they were excellent second half.
“And then to back that up, that was the final slide on my video today, all I said was ‘three on the bounce.’
“I don’t care how we got it, and I literally didn’t care how we got it, yes I want us to play better but it’s all about the result, all about the result.
“There were tough games today, a lot of people playing each other, so I was reasonably confident that if we got the three points then we would at least jump a place, so we did that, and fantastic, but it is a big barrier to get over.”
