Luton earned their first point of the campaign against 10-man Wolves after Carlton Morris cancelled out Pedro Neto's opener in a 1-1 draw. We've got that off our backs," Edwards told BBC Sport after the bottom side became the last team to get on the scoreboard in the league standings. "It shows at this level how hard you have to work, almost perfect to get something from the game. We showed character to come back into the game," Edwards added. I'm not saying we should have got something from the game, I'm saying we should have won."

Everton registered their first league victory of the season, producing an impressive display to win 3-1 at Brentford whose home struggles continued. "We played, I would say, 51, 52 minutes 10 against 11, so it was not easy, but we were fantastic," City manager Pep Guardiola said. Everton's James Tarkowski scored against his former club in a well-deserved 3-1 win at Brentford's Community Stadium. Victory lifted Everton out of the relegation zone and up to 15th with four points, with Brentford, without a home win this season, 12th on six. It secured Luton's first point in the top flight since April 1992 and they might have been celebrating a win.
