Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZIMBABWE international Marvelous put on another solid display as newly promoted Marvelous Nakamba claimed their first ever Premier League win with a 2-1 victory against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Nakamba\u2019s side had gone into the game without a win in their opening five matches, facing an Everton side which had been buoyed by back-to-back successes in the league and cup.<\/p>\n

However first half goals from Tom Lockyer and Carlton Morris gave Luton Town a suprise 2-0 lead in the first half, before Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled one back before the break.<\/p>\n

With Nakamba dominating in midfield, Town then defended superbly for the second period, restricting their hosts to little if any shots on target, as they held on for their first league win.<\/p>\n

Luton boss Rob Edwards was full of praises for his side\u2019s fighting spirit as they dug deep to pick up a first ever Premier League victory which meant climbed out of the relegation zone in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really, really pleased, a great day for the football club.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really good day for us and we believed it was going to be,\u201d said Edwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019ve been building in the right way, improving in every game, you\u2019ve heard me saying this for weeks and today we showed probably a different side to what we have been, because we were more ruthless than the opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo in a game of both boxes we came out on top, so that was the reason we won.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe performance was arguably better last week against Wolves, but it was different as we were at home and we didn\u2019t maybe get what we deserved.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we get the three points and it\u2019s a great day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted for the supporters who have been backing us and with us for a long, long time and always will do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
