Barkley: Late goals crucial in Luton survival fight

Luton ace Ross Barkley says their never-say-die character will see them stay up.

Their equaliser at Burnley last week was the tenth goal scored by Luton after 80 minutes.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Barkley said: “It's massive, a difficult place to come, we're challenging at the bottom to get as high as possible up the league and they put in a difficult performance for us.

"But we dug in until the end, showed great character and the big man got the goal in the end, which he deserves. They are pivotal for us getting those last minute goals and it's brilliant for us confidence-wise. We came here and came back from a goal down and got the point, so it's good for the team."

Barkley added: “The last 15 or 20 minutes, a lot of our substitutes make the difference when they come on. They add energy, Carlton (Morris) did that and long may it continue."
