Dan Potts leaves it late for Luton
Posted Wednesday, October 03, 2018 by PA
Dan Potts headed home in the eighth minute of stoppage time to snatch Luton a dramatic 2-1 victory at Oxford – their first away win of the season.
Ricky Holmes had fired the U’s in front three minutes into the second half with a superb left-footed drive after a sparkling run.
Luton levelled in the 56th minute when Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu beat two defenders on the left and his cross was turned against the crossbar by Harry Cornick. It fell for James Collins to fire in from close range.
Oxford had young captain Shandon Baptiste sent off 17 minutes from time for a second late tackle of the match.
Luton created the best chances of the first half, with Ruddopck-Mpanzu at the heart of many moves.
Jonathan Mitchell parried his fierce drive for a corner and also saved efforts from Elliot Lee and Glen Rea.
The Hatters had what they thought was a stoppage-time winner from Potts ruled out for a push – but the same player popped up again to settle it from Alan Sheehan’s free-kick.
