Posted Sunday, April 15, 2018 by PA
Luton are on the brink of promotion to Sky Bet League One after racking up their third successive home win by beating Crewe 3-1.
In an open contest, Jack Stacey headed straight at keeper Ben Garratt and Danny Hylton flashed wide.
Alex’s Harry Pickering had a free-kick was parried away by James Shea, while Town’s Elliot Lee saw a 20-yarder go inches wide.
Crewe took the lead after 35 minutes when an error from Alan Sheehan saw Jordan Bowery race away and finish well.
Luton swiftly levelled just four minutes later as Danny Hylton swivelled to score his 22nd of the season.
The Hatters moved in front in glorious style on the stroke of half-time, Lee magnificently curling into the top corner from the edge of the area.
They led 3-1 on 51 minutes as Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu blasted in the goal of the game, firing home from fully 30 yards for his first goal of the season.
Luton almost added to their tally, James Collins’ effort deflected wide and sub Harry Cornick dragging off target as the hosts moved just a point behind leaders Accrington.
