McJannet and Allen on target but late goal sees Luton lose to Stoke
A late goal saw Luton Town’s Development squad fall to a 3-2 defeat against Stoke City’s U21s at the Potters’ training ground this afternoon.
The visitors, who were captained by Casey Pettit, went ahead on 18 minutes when Ed McJannet, fresh from a training camp with the Republic of Ireland U19s, was fouled in the box, picking himself up to convert the penalty.
