Luton 1-1 Stoke (AET, 7-8 on pens): Hatters heartbreak as Scott Griffiths misses penalty and Geoff Cameron holds his nerve

Daily Mail  

Close but not close enough for little Luton of League Two, who for more than 120 minutes and 14 penalties looked the equal of Stoke’s second string and were then knocked on their backsides. Geoff Cameron converted the winning penalty to seal a third round trip to face Championship side Fulham Scott Griffiths is consoled by his team-mates after Luton pushed Stoke all the way but lost on penalties Meanwhile, Cameron shares a smile with Stoke team-mates after sealing progress to the third round Luton players show their despair after crashing out of the competition in cruel fashion Jonathan Walters lofts the ball over the head of the onrushing Eliott Justham to put the visitors into the lead Walters latched on to Stephen Ireland's through ball and did the rest with a clever lofted finish Walters finished from a tight angle and watches his shot drop into the empty net to score for Stoke Stoke players celebrate with Walters after the gnarled striker opened his campaign for the season Cameron McGeehan struck late from close range to force the tie into extra-time. and latterly penalties A jubilant McGeehan gees up the crowd at Kenilworth Road as Luton pushed Stoke all the way Match facts Luton : Justham 7.5; O'Donnell 6, Cuthbert 6, Wilkinson 6.5, Griffiths 6.5; Green 6.5, O’Brien 6, Lee 6.5, Smith 6, Mpanzu 6.5 ; McQuoid 6 Subs not used: McNulty, Guttridge, Mackail-Smith, Tyler Booked: O'Brien, Smith Goal: McGeehan 90 Stoke: Given 6.5; Bardsley 6.5, Wollscheid 5, Wilson 6.5, Pieters 5; Sidwell 6.5, Ireland 6; Walters 6.5, Bojan 6.5, Arnautovic 5 ; Crouch 5.5. ‘Our players will know they can compete after that performance.’ Josh McQuoid takes on Stoke's defence Philipp Wollscheid, Marc Wilson, Erik Pieters and Steve Sidwell Scott Griffiths is closed down by goalscorer Walters as the League Two side put up a fight against the Potters Bojan Krkic whips in a free kick for the Premier League side as Stoke put pressure on the hosts' goal A big slice of joy for Hughes will have been the competitive and safe return of Bojan Krkic from a seven-month injury lay-off. The key was to progress and that is what we have done.’ Stoke midfielder Sidwell skips past McQuoid's outstretched leg as the Potters maintain possession Scott Griffiths clears as the Luton full back attempts to launch an attack at an atmospheric Kenilworth Road A thoughtful Mark Hughes trudges back to the dressing room after a goalless first half How the shootout unfolded Paul Benson: 1-0 Jon Walters 1-1 Cameron McGeehan 2-1 Joselu 2-2 Olly Lee 3-2 Luton Phil Bardsley 3-3 Luke Wilkinson 4-3 Steve Sidwell 4-4 Ryan Hall 5-4 Marc Wilson 5-5 Stephen O'Donnell 6-5 Mame Briam Diouf 6-6 Jonathan Smith 7-6 Phillip Wollscheid 7-7 Scott Griffiths 7-7 Geoff Cameron 7-8 For Luton, who themselves made six changes to the side that last to Yeovil, the opening half was extremely promising.
