Reaction | Nathan Jones' take on Swansea win!

Nathan Jones said his side were ‘absolutely outstanding’ as they secured a first win of the season against Swansea City.

The Hatters bounced back from midweek disappointment to earn a well-deserved three points in South Wales thanks to goals from Allan Campbell and a first in Luton colours for Carlton Morris.

“I thought we were absolutely outstanding," Jones said after the match. "Out of possession today was as good a performance you will see. If you’re flippant with your defensive responsibilities against Swansea they punish you because they have carved teams open.

“Today I thought we were aggressive, we were disciplined, I thought we defended superbly well and we looked a threat because we scored two good goals. To be honest with you, we could have scored more.”

Dan Potts led by example as captain for 90 minutes and the manager was very pleased with what he saw from the former West Ham man and his back five.

“I thought we defended our box magnificently, we really did. We pressed at the right times, allowed them to have possession in certain areas, denied them space in and around the box where they are dangerous.

“We were poor against Bristol City, I thought we were good against Burnley and excellent against Birmingham. It was fine margins against Preston, it could have gone either way, but today we were back at it. Really important we got the win, don’t let anyone tell you any different.”
