Luton Town striker Carlton Morris was blown away by the atmosphere at St James' Park after playing out a 4-4 draw with Newcastle United.

Morris put the Hatters 3-2 ahead from the penalty spot on the hour-mark after Sean Longstaff's first-half double was quickly cancelled out by Gabriel Osho and Ross Barkley.

Elijah Adebayo then put the visitors 4-2 but the Magpies fought back through Kieran Trippier and substitute Harvey Barnes. Rob Edwards described St James' Park as a "cauldron of noise" and Morris was certainly in agreement.

"It was incredible," said Morris. "A few of the lads have never played in the atmosphere [at St James' Park before] and it was incredible."

Morris added: "We are a little bit disappointed to be 4-2 up and come away with a point. We showed a lot of character to stay in the game. It isn't an easy place to come and when they have their tails up, they are deadly.

"It's just about us and that we stay resilient. It's a credit that at 4-4, with their fans behind them, we held on.

"It can be tough at times but there is a lot of quality in this league. It is clear that we have evolved a lot from the start of the season to now and we are showing that pedigree. Hopefully we can score four goals every week.

"We want to be a fun team to watch as well. We do want to be exciting and play flowing football. That's what we are doing."

Luton extended their unbeaten run to six matches in all competitions while Newcastle have now lost their last three fixtures at St James' Park.
