Description

Luton came from behind to claim their second consecutive league win with victory over struggling Huddersfield Town.

Karlan Grant turned home Terence Kongolo's cross at the back post to put Huddersfield ahead just after half-time as the visitors sought their first win of the season.

Luton were level 10 minutes later when James Collins was brought down by Christopher Schindler and he stepped up to confidently convert the resultant penalty.

Andrew Shinnie grabbed the winner in the 66th-minute with a curled left-footed finish into the bottom corner from 20 yards.

Luton move up to 15th place in the Championship while Huddersfield - relegated from the Premier League last season - have taken just one point form their opening six league games and are only kept off the bottom by Stoke City's poorer goal difference.

After a quiet start to the match, Luton began to cause problems from short corners, creating opportunities for Jacob Butterfield, whose driven effort from just inside the penalty area was blocked by Jaden Brown, and Shinnie, who curled an effort over from 18 yards.
