Luton Town 1 - 2 Plymouth Argyle: Late Ryan Brunt strike keeps Plymouth top

Posted Sunday, October 25, 2015 by PA

Ryan Brunt scored a stoppage time winner as Plymouth stayed top of Sky Bet League Two with a 2-1 win at Luton.

The visitors' striker reacted first in the area to apply a close-range finish as the Hatters suffered a fourth game without a win.

Argyle were in front on 15 minutes when Craig Tanner's delivery was flicked into the net by the head of Carl McHugh, and could have been further ahead after Mark Tyler fumbled a long-range effort from Tanner.

Luton's best chance saw Jack Marriott's close range cross shot turned behind by visiting keeper Luke McCormick, but Tyler was the busier of the two men as he again kept out the influential Tanner and Graham Carey.

The Hatters were level on 76 minutes when Cameron McGeehan's shot was well-saved by McCormick only for Josh McQuoid to nod the rebound over the line.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men with five minutes to go when substitute Ryan Hall was dismissed for his second yellow card after kicking the ball away, and that proved the turning point as Brunt grabbed the win with his first league goal of the season deep into added time.
