LEAGUE ONE THIS WEEKEND

- TOM FARMERY

THERE was fear that all of the momentum LUTON had built up would dissipate when Nathan Jones left to become Stoke manager. But interim boss Mick Harford is managing to keep things going. James Collins put Luton 3-0 up at home to PETERBOROU­GH before Luke Berry added a fourth. After 13 League games played, Luton were 10th, 11 points behind leaders

PORTSMOUTH. But 15 unbeaten games later, they are just a point behind. So much for Portsmouth running away with the league. Their 2-1 setback at OXFORD means they have now lost back-to-back games for the first time this term. Oxford hadn’t won in the League for five games. Goals from Cameron Brannagan and James Henry put Oxford ahead before Brett Pitman pulled one back. Adam Hammill scored the goal of the week for SCUNTHORPE in the 87th minute to earn a 1-1 draw at home to third-placed

SUNDERLAND. It was a debut goal for Hammill and a beauty, curled into the far corner from the edge of the area.

CHARLTON fans stormed on to the pitch at The Valley after Karlan Grant’s 93rd-minute penalty sealed a 1-0 win over

ACCRINGTON. ‘They’re passionate people, they want to win and so do my players,’ said jubilant Charlton manager Lee Bowyer.

PLYMOUTH are the in-form side after three wins on the bounce, 2-1 over COVENTRY their latest triumph. Now only goal difference keeps them in the last relegation place.
