Exeter boss Caldwell hails matchwinner Mitchell for Luton Cup shock

Exeter boss Gary Caldwell hailed the performance of matchwinner Demetri Mitchell after their Carabao Cup win against Luton Town.

The former Manchester United winger struck the only goal of the tie last night.

"He's been fantastic since he came to the club," Caldwell told BBC Sport.

"He's a player with huge talent. He has to put it together and I think he has in many moments since he's been at this football club.

"Tonight, playing on the wrong side, switching him to the other side, scoring a goal, but being a constant threat with his dribbling and his ability to run us up the pitch was absolutely amazing."

Last night mark Exeter's first win against top-flight opposition since 1981.
