Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has been praised for his quick-thinking during medical emergency at the Vitality Stadium earlier today.

Rob Edwards could be seen alert to the situation as he quickly ran on to the pitch asking the players to clear the way for the medics to do their work.

His quick thinking was praised by fans on social media.
