Championship Leicester City 0-2 Luton Town A first-half goal from Ahmet Brkovic and a stoppage-time effort from Luton captain Kevin Nicholls sealed victory for the Hatters at the Walkers Stadium, and moved them up to third in the Championship. Simon Oxley reports. Luton are back to winning ways and although they rode their luck in the second half, it was another committed and spirited effort against a side whose stadium says Premiership, but whose team doesn't anymore. Take nothing away from Luton though, especially keeper Marlon Beresford who, after his error at Stoke, produced two splendid saves to deny Gareth Williams, and he deserved the luck that came his way a minute from time when Dion Dublin's shot came back off the inside of the post. Luton had gone 1-0 up four minutes before half time with Ahmet Brkovic's splendid overhead kick and the game was sealed in stoppage time when Kevin Nicholls drove home a penalty after the tireless Enoch Showunmi was fouled. The travelling faithful cheered their team off once again. There have been more cheers than tears so far, and no reason to believe that it won't continue that way. Manager Mike Newell felt luck was on their side. "I think that was probably as unconvincing as we've been in the six games that we've played if you count the Carling Cup game" he said. "We rode our luck a little bit at times, particularly in the second half. But we stood up and competed which we know they're capable of. It's not easy coming away from home to a side that's established in the Championship and has been in the Premier League recently. "But we're pleased with the points that we've got on the board so far." Luton Town Goals: Brkovic 41, Nicholls 90 pen. Attendance: 22,048 Referee: P Armstrong (Berkshire) Watford 0-0 Reading Watford's winning run was ended by Reading, but the Hornets gained a point from an entertaining goalless draw at Vicarage Road. Euan Duncan reports. Watford were left to rue several missed chances as they and Reading cancelled each other out in front of the television cameras at Vicarage Road. The Hornets' best chance saw a Darius Henderson shot cleared off the line by James Harper midway through the first half. Marlon King and Ashley Young had chances late on to win it for the Hornets but King mis-controlled in front of goal and Young drove a low shot wide of a post. Watford were grateful to goalkeeper Ben Foster for an excellent save to tip over a fierce James Harper' drive shortly before the hour. The Hornets dropped to eigth but are now unbeaten in four Championship games as they head for pride Park to face Derby County on Monday. Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd felt there were plusses and minuses for his side. "I'm a bit disappointed that we've not come away with a win to be honest. I thought we had the better of the chances" he said. "It's a big step forward for us in the fact that we've got a clean sheet, but we've got nothing to fear from anybody in this League. We've played the top and we've done more than enough to win the game and a nice clean sheet is a big positive for us." Attendance: 12,152. Referee: R Beeby (Northamptonshire) League One Bristol City 2-2 MK Dons The Milton Keynes Dons drew at Bristol City after leading 2-0 at half-time. Luke Ashmead was at Ashton Gate. That first League win still evades the Dons but a draw was a fair result even though Danny Wilson's side were two goals up after 17 minutes. The first goal came seven minutes in when Clive Platt collected the ball midway inside the Bristol City half and good work from the Dons' striker saw him finish coolly inside the box, slotting the ball past Phillips. Platt grabbed his brace ten minutes later. Nick McKoy's driven cross from the right was met by Platt in the six yard area and he poked it home to make it 2-0. Bristol City rallied and the introduction of Michael Bridges helped. The Robins got their first goal seven minutes into the second half - a well taken right foot shot from Steve Brooker. The equaliser came seven minutes later when Matt Heywood rose above the Dons defence. Both sides could have won this game, and both sides could also have lost! On reflection, Dons manager Danny Wilson wasn't too disappointed. "If you're looking at the big picture before the game .... you think Bristol City away, with the money they've spent and the crowd and the atmosphere they can get and the players that they have, you'd say it's a good result for us" he said. "When you see yourselves 2-0 up and you let that go you think, 'well maybe not'. But I have to say, the lads were fantastic today. "We've had another terrific game here. We've shown that we're maturing as a team. We're getting better and some of these young lads are coming through absolutely superbly at the moment." Bristol City Goals: Brooker 52, Heywood 59. Milton Keynes Dons Goals: Platt 7, 17 Attendance: 10,011 Referee: K Stroud (Dorset) League Two Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Wycombe Wanderers Wycombe conceded a late equaliser as Shrewsbury rescued a point, courtesy of Scottish striker Colin McMenamin, who notched his first goal for the club. Ian Stringer reports. Wycombe remain unbeaten in League Two but should really have taken three points from Shropshire with a one-sided contest. Other than their bright opening in the first 15 minutes, Shrewsbury offered very little. Nathan Tyson proved that he is one of the best strikers in the League when he dribbled from the halfway line to finish with a 20-yard thunderbolt on the half hour, and the Chairboys looked to be in control. Had Tommy Mooney's header, Kevin Betsy's volley or Roger Johnson's effort found the net, Wycombe would have taken maximum points and pushed on, I'm sure. But 18-year-old keeper Joe Hart kept the Shrews in it proving, as speculation suggests, he's destined for the Premiership. Against the run of play Shrewsbury got an equaliser with a controversial keeper versus striker moment. Frank Talia thought he'd been fouled in the air, but Colin McMenamin's header stood. This was manager John Gorman's verdict. "I was hoping for a foul but if I'm being totally honest I thought that Frank didn't get it away" he said. "I thought he'd been magnificent but just felt that he should have done better on it, like their goalkeeper did at the end when he came and collected it. But Frank's been so good, so we can't blame Frank because he's been magnificent."

Stevenage maintained a 100 per cent home record this season with a win which took their goals tally into double figures after just four games. The home side twice went close to taking the lead around the half-hour mark, firstly when Jason Goodliffe connected with Dannie Bulman's corner but his angled header just drifted wide. Then Tamworth goalkeeper James Dormand produced a terrific save to tip over a Jon Nurse header. Dormand made another fine stop six minutes before the interval, this time from a long-range Bulman effort, but he was unable to do anything to prevent the hosts from going ahead two minutes later. Justin Gregory crossed from the left and George Boyd smacked the ball home to net his third goal of the season. Much-travelled striker Julian Alsop nearly equalised just before the break but headed a Scott Stamps corner over the crossbar and did likewise soon after the restart, this time from a Hugh McAuley flag-kick. Dormand again denied Goodliffe in the 62nd minute but Stevenage quickly gave themselves a degree of comfort. Boyd turned creator as he crossed for Anthony Elding, who took his tally of goals for the campaign to three. They may have thought that goal was vital for Tamworth pulled one back in the 75th minute, Matt Redmile heading home at the near post from a McAuley free-kick. But four minutes later Borough's two-goal cushion was restored, with Goodliffe the deserved scorer. Dormand was powerless this time as the centre-half stole in to head home another fine cross by Boyd.
