Second half goals from Cameron Jerome and Allan Campbell made it seven league games unbeaten at Kenilworth Road, a result which lifted the Hatters to eighth in the Sky Bet Championship.

Making amends after last week’s defeat against Birmingham City was vital in the mind of Jones, who said post-match: “We haven’t gone two defeats on the spin this season which is fantastic to do. We’ve shown our character, we’ve shown we can bounce back and get results which is what we have done today.

"It’s a big win because they are a good side. Whatever position they are in, they are a good side with good players, a massive budget but we also have players that can hurt you.

“Offensively we have hammered them this week, they changed to what we had worked for but in the end they went to 4-3-3 which enabled us to defend our box well and sometimes you need that chance to breathe a little bit. We knew last week wasn’t a regular occurrence because if it was a regular occurrence we would be at a different end of the table.

“We knew we could bounce back, it was great that we had West Brom today because they were one point above us and it was a fantastic performance, the only problems we caused were ones ourselves.”
