Notts County and Luton bring season to close with goalless draw
Posted Sunday, May 06, 2018 by PA
Notts County and 10-man Luton had to settle for a point on the final day of the season after fighting out a goalless draw at Meadow Lane.
Backed by more than 4,000 fans, the promoted Hatters looked lively early on with Olly Lee forcing Adam Collin into save with a powerful 20-yard drive.
Jack Stacey then drilled a low shot across the face of goal as Nathan Jones’ side looked to end the season with a bang.
But Notts, already guaranteed of a play-off place, had their moments with Jon Stead having a shot deflected behind for a corner while James Shea also saved from Jorge Grant.
The Magpies’ hopes of a victory then appeared to be boosted early in the second half when Danny Hylton picked up a second yellow card for a foul on Shaun Brisley.
But that did not deter the Hatters from trying to find a breakthrough with Stacey again coming close following a fine counter attack by the visitors.
And only a fantastic last-ditch tackle from Matt Tootle denied Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu from making the breakthrough at the expense of a corner.
Notts kept plugging away in a bid to find a winner but could not trouble goalkeeper Shea.
