Luton Town secured a 2-0 victory over Stockport County at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night, a result that lifts them to 7th place in the League One table. Goals from Nahki Wells and Callum Marshall in the second half sealed the three points for the Hatters.
Josh Keeley earned his first clean sheet of the season, a solid foundation for the win. The match saw manager Rob Edwards implement a tactical shift, deploying Harrison Ashby as a right wingback in a new formation for his first league start. This adjustment contributed to a disciplined defensive performance.
The game remained goalless until the second half when Nahki Wells found the net to put Luton Town ahead. His finish provided the important breakthrough against a stubborn Stockport County defence. The goal shifted the momentum firmly in the Hatters' favour and allowed them to play with more confidence.
Callum Marshall then doubled the advantage with a spectacular strike from 25 yards out, ensuring the points stayed in Luton. The two-goal cushion effectively ended the contest, allowing the home side to manage the game through to the final whistle.
The clean sheet was a collective achievement, with several individuals delivering strong performances. Central defender Mads Andersen made his second start of the season and helped organise the back line. In midfield, Hakeem Odoffin was particularly effective, winning all six of his ground duels to disrupt Stockport's rhythm.
