Jack Wilshere continues fine start as Luton stun Stockport

Luton stunned League One leaders Stockport 3-0 at Edgeley Park as Jack Wilshere’s impressive start as manager continued.

Goals from Jake Richards, Cohen Bramall and Isaiah Jones earned victory against a wasteful County and saw them climb to within three points of the play-offs.

The hosts went close in the opening stages as Nathan Lowe, Callum Connolly and Kyle Wootton saw their chances come and go before Luton went in front after 34 minutes when Richards bundled home Bramall’s cross.

Bramall doubled the visitors’ lead four minutes later with a curling free-kick from outside the box.

Luton goalkeeper Josh Keeley then kept out Lowe’s 56th-minute penalty after Jones brought down Odin Bailey and Luton grabbed a third after 69 minutes.

Richards flew down the right flank and sent the ball in for Jones, who fired home.

Stockport were reduced to 10 men after 81 minutes when Owen Dodgson was sent off for a foul on Gideon Kodua.

Wilshere has now lost just one of his first five games in charge.
