Luton come from behind to deny Shrimps

Morecambe's 12-match unbeaten run came to an end as Luton picked up a vital 2-1 victory in their fight for Football League survival. Veteran striker Kevin Gallen was Luton's hero, grabbing the winner after 59 minutes with a close-range volley from a deflected cross. Mick Harford's side played the better football but had to show great fight after Morecambe went ahead after 21 minutes. Michael Twiss swung in a free-kick from the right and Stuart Drummond rose superbly at the far post to head past Dean Brill. Luton thought they had equalised three minutes later when Asa Hall headed home Kevin Nicholls' cross but his effort was ruled out for a push. But the Hatters came back from that disappointment with Chris Martin heading his side level three minutes from half-time with a close-range header from another excellent Nicholls cross. Luton started the second half well with Craddock forcing Barry Roche into a superb save before Gallen popped up with the vital winner.
