Exeter City 1-0 Luton: Hatters' misery goes on as Rob Edwards' side are knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League One opposition with Demetri Mitchell scoring late winner before getting sent off

Luton manager Rob Edwards’ decision to rest his frontline players backfired last night as the Premier League side suffered Carabao Cup humiliation against 10-man Exeter.

A late winner from Deme Mitchell – would was also sent off - condemned Luton to defeat and ensured newly-promoted Luton’s start to the season would go from bad to worse.

It was just reward for Exeter after Edwards opted to field a side that showed 10 changes to his 1st XI that set about earning the club its first Premier League point with a 1-1 draw with Wolves at the weekend.
