ROB EDWARDS has been hailed for his quick-thinking reaction after Tom Lockyer's terrifying collapse.<\/p>\n

The Luton Town star collapsed after a heart attack in the 59th minute of the Premier League clash with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Medical staff ran on to treat the defender after he was checked on by the Cherries midfielder Philip Billing.<\/p>\n

Manager Edwards was also quick to act as he instantly ran onto the pitch.<\/p>\n

The Englishman could be seen waving away the players in order to give Lockyer space.<\/p>\n

He could be seen saying "away, away" to players from both sides in order to allow the medics to do their work.<\/p>\n

A fourth said: "Rob Edwards deserves a lot of praise in the way he handled the situation with Tom Lockyer.<\/p>\n

"Straight on to the pitch to get the Bournemouth & Luton Town players away surrounding the incident to allow the medics to do their job. Rob Edwards, top class."<\/p>\n

A fifth hailed: "Seeing the footage of Rob Edwards and I am so proud to have him as our manager. A brilliant, compassionate leader who we\u2019re lucky to have."<\/p>\n

A sixth chimed in with: "Rob Edwards has handled and acted in this so well whilst dealing with his own emotions."<\/p>\n

Another added: "Rob Edwards, what an incredible manager & human."<\/p>\n

'RESPONSIVE'<\/h2>\n

Lockyer has been taken to hospital and has been confirmed to be conscious and responsive by Luton Town.<\/p>\n

The club also confirmed that the defender suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch in a statement.<\/p>\n

It read: "Our medical staff have confirmed that the Hatters captain suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch, but was responsive by the time he was taken off on the stretcher. <\/p>\n

"He received further treatment inside the stadium, for which we once again thank the medical teams from both sides.<\/p>\n

"Tom was transferred to hospital, where we can reassure supporters that he is stable and currently undergoing further tests with his family at his bedside.<\/p>\n

"We would like to thank everyone for their support, concern and loving messages for Locks."<\/p>\n

As a result of the incident, referee Simon Hooper abandoned the match with the players in no state of mind to carry on.<\/p>\n

Prior to the medical emergency, Luton were holding Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n

Elijah Adebayo stunned fans when he broke the deadlock within the opening three minutes.<\/p>\n

But Dominic Solanke netted the equaliser after half time.<\/p>\n
