Luton Town’s unbeaten start in League One is over after a 2-1 defeat by Bradford City in West Yorkshire.

Stephen Humphrys and Bobby Pointon scored the goals that won the day for the Bantams, with Gideon Kodua’s first Luton goal proving insufficient to help them launch a comeback.

The result means defeat for Luton in their third game of the new league season, having previously begun with wins over AFC Wimbledon and Peterborough in their first two assignments.

An even start saw Luton have positive forward moments but Bradford had the two best chances, with Humphrys seeing one header narrowly bounce wide before he had a further strike denied by Luton keeper Josh Keeley.

Luton were forced into an early alteration as Millenic Alli was substituted when the wing-back on a yellow came very close to receiving a further caution, but the Hatters’ momentum was stilted and they ended up falling behind in the final ten minutes of the first half.

Curtis Tilt’s deflected pass ended up finding Antoni Sarcevic, who duly squared for Humphrys to finish.

Bradford then made it 2-0 in the opening minutes of the second half. Former Luton man Josh Neufville saw a cross find Pointon, whose header beat Keeley to double the Bantams’ advantage.

After struggling for a while to recover from that blow, Luton began to show more intent when Kal Naismith saw a free-kick denied by home goalkeeper Sam Walker before Jerry Yates narrowly failed to convert a cross.

The home side could’ve made it 3-0 moments later, only for Bradford sub Tyreik Wright to fire straight at Keeley when perfectly placed.

Luton would get on the scoreboard with 86 minutes on the clock when Kodua headed in from Cohen Bramall’s cross, with the effort being his first goal for the Hatters.

The best opportunity for an equaliser Luton created saw Lasse Nordas denied by Walker, but there was no way back for Matt Bloomfield’s outfit.

Bloomfield and his players will now seek to make amends in back-to-back home matches, with games against Wigan and Cardiff coming up this week.
