Luton faces another defeat on the road as Oxford come from behind to secure victory

Greg Leigh scored a crucial goal in the 69th minute to help Oxford secure a 3-2 victory over Luton at the Kassam Stadium. This result extended Gary Rowett's unbeaten run in the Championship to seven games.

Luton's away struggles continued as they suffered their 12th consecutive defeat on the road - 11 in the Championship and one in the FA Cup.

The winning goal, scored by Leigh, exposed defensive lapses from Luton as he was left unmarked to head in a cross from Will Vaulks.

The match was entertaining with both teams creating several chances. Oxford once again demonstrated their resilience with a fourth consecutive home win under Rowett's tenure.

Luton took the lead through Tom Krauss, but Oxford equalized through Michal Helik before Mark McGuinness restored Luton's advantage. Ciaran Brown then leveled the score for Oxford before Leigh's decisive header.

The match saw opportunities for both sides, with notable efforts from players like Sirike Dembele and Elijah Adebayo. Despite late pressure from Luton, Oxford held on for the win.
