Wilshere: 'I truly believe in the players'

Luton Town boss Jack Wilshere said he truly believes in his players after their last-gasp victory over Leicester City on Saturday.

Callum Marshall's goal four minutes into second half stoppage-time gave the Hatters a 2-1 win and delivered back-to-back league victories for Wilshere's side for the first time this season.

The 34-year-old is in his second season as Luton manager after guiding the club to seventh in League One last term.

They currently sit 10th in the third-tier and have now won three times in four matches after a sluggish start to their campaign which included a heavy 5-2 loss at Mansfield at the end of August.

"What the players have got, I keep saying it, I truly believe in them and their fighting spirit," Wilshere told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"You've got a decision to make when they [Leicester] go down to 10 [men] and they score in the 88th minute. You look up at the clock and there is that feeling we shouldn't let that happen.

"You've then got a decision to make, whether you stop and you go into your shell, or you step out of it.

"That [Marshall's winning goal] is a big moment for the players to come out and do that."
