Luton Town has secured promotion to the premier league for the first time in the history of the club after a pulsating shoot-out victory over Coventry City on Saturday evening.

The hatters will join championship winners, Burnley and runner-up Sheffield United as the promoted teams into the English top flight For the 2023/2024 campaign.

Luton largely dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead in the 23rd minute through Clark, who was set up by Elijah Adebayo and took one touch before firing home a left-footed shot.

They also had two goals disallowed before the break but a much-improved Coventry drew level thanks to a quick counter just after the hour mark.

Victor Gyokeres streamed down the left side and picked out Hamer in the box. The midfielder made a bursting run to meet the pass and side-footed the ball into the corner with a sublime finish.

Luton, who finished third in the Championship and beat Sunderland in their play-off semi-final, sealed promotion when Coventry’s Dabo sent his penalty off-target after the previous 11 takers had all scored their spot kicks.

“It feels incredible,” Luton manager Rob Edwards said after the game.

“It was our day, which was great, but I do feel for them as well,” He continued.

“A lot of emotions going on right now, but I’m incredibly proud.”
