Luton Town 1 Ipswich Town 0

STEVE Howard headed an 80th minute winner past Shane Supple to give Luton victory at Kenilworth Road.

Howard headed home from Ahmet Brkovic's cross to settle the outcome of a drab Coca-Cola Championship encounter.

The Blues were left fuming after referee Lee Mason appeared to point to the spot but then change his mind and gave a corner instead of a penalty after Jimmy Juan was bowled over by Kevin Foley in the first half.

Town's 18-year-old Irish keeper Shane Supple made a string of good saves for Town to deny former Colchester United strikers Rowan Vine and Dean Morgan among others.

Marlon Beresford tipped over a 30-yard Darren Currie drive but otherwise was relatively untroubled by a toothless Town attack.

Richard Naylor returned to the Town team after serving a two-match suspension and partnered Alan Lee up front while on-loan Blackburn defender Jay McEveley made his first appearance for Town since suffering a serious knee injury at Cardiff in November.
