scored both goals for as they beat 2-1 at Kenilworth Road in a tight yet open match. The Dane scored within a minute after a mistake from Luton’s defence, before adding a second six minutes later after deflecting ’s shot past off his chest. Luton hit back after bravely headed home from close range to set up a nervous second half. The win puts Erik ten Hag’s side on 44 points, three behind in fifth.
