Luton earn comeback victory over Middlesbrough to close on third

Carlton Morris’s 20th goal of the season completed Luton’s comeback as they kept their momentum going with a 2-1 home win over Middlesbrough. The Hatters, unbeaten since mid-February, were a place above Boro in third going into the game and the winners knew that victory would keep alive their slim hopes of going up automatically to the Premier League at the expense of Sheffield United.

It had looked like it would be the visitors after a dominant opening 45 minutes. They led through Cameron Archer, only for Town to fight back, strikes from Tom Lockyer and Morris’s penalty, claiming all three points, although Middlesbrough were left disappointed by the decision to award the spot-kick in the first place.
