JOHN EUSTACE lauded Amario Cozier-Duberry as “unplayable” after the teenager marked his first Blackburn start with a goal in a comfortable win over 10-man Luton.

The 19-year-old, on loan from Brighton, broke the deadlock with a powerful first-half strike to cap an impressive performance in which he caused the Luton defence problems all afternoon.

After the game, Eustace praised Cozier-Duberry’s work at both ends of the pitch.

He said: “I thought he was outstanding. It was a brilliant performance from the young lad. He’s been training very well. He was close to starting probably four-to-five weeks ago before he got injured.

“Today, particularly in the first half, I thought he was virtually unplayable and I was pleased that he scored a great goal.

“What is the most pleasing thing for me is he’s an exciting player with the ball, but he doesn’t half work hard without the ball as well.
