Luton's Unbeaten Run Ends: Wilshere Cites 'Cheap Goals'

Luton Town's impressive four-match unbeaten streak in League One came to a halt following a tense 3-2 loss against struggling Reading. The Hatters found themselves trailing by two goals early on but fought back to equalize through Jordan Clark and Nigel Lonwijk. However, a late strike from Reading's Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan in the 78th minute sealed the victory for the hosts.

Manager Jack Wilshere voiced his disappointment, emphasizing the team's recurring problem of conceding 'cheap goals' despite dominating periods of the match. He stressed the importance of recognizing and managing these critical moments to secure results. Wilshere acknowledged the team's aspiration for three points, which ultimately went unfulfilled.

Reading manager Leam Richardson praised his team's response to adversity, particularly the impact of his substitutes. He noted the team's inconsistency but highlighted the lifted performance levels from those who came off the bench. The win allowed Reading to move up the league standings, out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
