The 18-year-old scored for the second game running as he latched onto Jorgen Strand Larsen's pass to finish calmly in front of the away fans.

Edwards was delighted with all aspects of the goal, but was left disappointed that his side could not find a let second against their nine-man opposition, following late red cards for Michael Keane and Jack Grealish.

"It was a brilliant assist, it was a really well-worked goal," Edwards said.

"Dropping in, his timing was perfect, his touch, his pass was different class. But the run from Mane and the touch and finish was sensational. So I'm taking nothing away from the kid.

"But it was a great assist from Jorgen and brilliant that he got an impact for us."
