Luton’s League One play-off push suffered a setback when they fell to defeat at struggling Reading.<\/p>\n
Despite fighting back from two goals down to level at 2-2 late on, Reading substitute Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan snatched a 78th-minute winner to end the Hatters’ four-match unbeaten league run.<\/p>\n
Jack Wilshere’s side started the stronger, with Cohen Bramall driving wide after finding space, but Reading soon found themselves ahead.<\/p>\n
Hatters goalkeeper Josh Keeley clumsily felled Daniel Kyerewaa following a swift home break and Lewis Wing coolly converted from the spot for his sixth goal of the season in the eighth minute.<\/p>\n
Town could have equalised shortly afterwards but Reading goalkeeper Joel Pereira made a superb save to turn over an inswinging Kal Naismith corner that had flicked goalwards off Wing’s thigh.<\/p>\n
The Royals struck again in the 52nd minute when patient build-up play ended with Randell Williams setting up Jack Marriott to sweetly drill home from the edge of the area against his former club.<\/p>\n
Luton pulled a goal back seven minutes later when Wing made a hash of clearing a Shayden Morris cross and Jordan Clark poked in the loose ball.<\/p>\n
Full-back Nigel Lonwijk then crashed home a glorious equaliser from distance in the 76th minute, only for Ehibhatiomhan to guide the winner past Keeley from a tight angle just two minutes later.<\/p>\n
