Luton Town in the Premier League? Blimey.
Just nine years on from ending their five-season stretch in the Conference Premier, the Hatters are celebrating returning to the top-flight for the first time since 1992.
These teams were promoted from League Two together in 2018 and the latter went into half-time ahead, with Clark scoring a deserved opened for the dominant Hatters.Rob Edwards’ side rallied impressively after captain Tom Lockyer’s concerning early collapse, but Coventry improved after the break. Both managers stuck with the players that sealed their ticket to Wembley, where Gabriel Osho thought he had put his side into an early lead.Frustration quickly turned to concern as the Luton skipper fell to the floor when running back.
Coventry were struggling to get out of their own half and were caught out in the 23rd minute on one of the few occasions they did. City’s only shot of the opening period followed as Hamer hammered over, but boss Mark Robins had them revived after the break.
