Defender Mads Andersen scored against his former club as Luton returned to winning ways by beating Barnsley 2-1 at Kenilworth Road.<\/p>\n
Town made the perfect start when, after two minutes, Andersen netted a downward header from Jamie Donley’s free-kick.<\/p>\n
Barnsley almost had a swift response, Vimal Yoganathan’s header tipped away by James Shea and Ryan Brownlie hammering the rebound over.<\/p>\n
With 13 minutes gone Hatters striker Nahki Wells curled against a post, but the Tykes should have levelled, Tobi Adeyemo sidefooting wide and Yoganathan heading off target.<\/p>\n
It was 2-0 in the 41st minute, Liam Walsh’s free-kick met by George Johnston for Wells to nod in.<\/p>\n
After the break, Town almost started quickly again, Cieran Slicker parrying from Mendel, but Barnsley had one back in the 58th minute, half-time substitute Makenzie Kirk slamming in.<\/p>\n
Clark forced Slicker into a smart stop as Yogananthan fired at Shea, with Clark putting a free header over.<\/p>\n
