Luton 2-1 Middlesbrough: Carlton Morris penalty earns Hatters all three points against promotion rivals Middlesbrough in what could be a Championship play-off dress rehearsal

Luton got the better of fellow promotion contenders Middlesbrough with a 2-1 at Kenilworth Road, in what could prove to be a dress rehearsal for this season's Championship Play-offs.

Both the Hatters and Michael Carrick's Boro have secured their place in the top six, meaning that depending on when each team finishes, this game could be repeated in a few weeks time, if both teams win their play-off semi-finals at end up at Wembley.

The visitors opened the scoring just before the break when Cameron Archer put Boro ahead with the 10th goal of his loan spell from Aston Villa.
