Will Keane's goal gives new Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom a winning start to his managerial reign against Luton.
Will Keane’s goal ended Preston’s long league goal drought and proved enough to beat Luton as new manager Paul Heckingbottom made a winning start.
The defeat leaves the Hatters, relegated from the Premier League last season, in 23rd with just one point from their opening three games after a heavy home defeat by Burnley and a goalless draw at Portsmouth. Shandon Baptiste was denied an almost certain goal by some excellent defending by Liam Lindsay and then sidefooted another chance wide before the home side went ahead.
But they could not find a way through and in the end, only a superb tackle by Luton debutant centre-back Mark McGuinness prevented Duane Holmes from adding a second.All times UK.
