Cornick goal the difference as Luton win at Bury
Posted Monday, December 03, 2018 by PA
Harry Cornick pounced to seal Luton’s FA Cup third-round place as they triumphed 1-0 at Bury.
The League One high-fliers progressed largely thanks to Bury’s wastefulness in front of goal, particularly in the first half.
Bury’s Nicky Maynard should have struck early on when he side-footed straight at James Shea from eight yards.
At the other end, James Collins flicked a header inches wide as he rose to meet James Justin’s corner.
Bury skipper Neil Danns should have scored when he drove a shot wide from 15 yards with only goalkeeper Shea to beat.
The Hatters struck shortly before the break when Cornick bundled home Collins’ cross from close range.
It was almost 2-0 three minutes after the restart when Andrew Shinnie fired narrowly over the top.
In the 74th minute a gilt-edged opportunity went begging for Bury when substitute Dominic Telford blazed over after he latched on to Maynard’s drag-back.
Luton replied with Collins only being thwarted by a brilliant point-blank stop from goalkeeper Joe Murphy.
Eight minutes from time Bury wing-back Callum McFadzean saw a tight-angled shot bounce back off the post.
