Stalemate between Luton and Rotherham as neither side finds breakthrough goal

Luton Town and Rotherham United shared the points following a 0-0 draw at Kenilworth Road.

The Hatters did extend their unbeaten run to 5 outings in all competitions, but the match would see two in-form sides in League One ultimately cancel each other out as neither could find a breakthrough moment.

The point sees Jack Wilshere’s side now sit 8th in the third tier table. They are 3 points behind Stevenage in the final play-off position, albeit a Boro side that have two games in hand.

Luton had been set for a test against the Millers, with Rotherham arriving in Bedfordshire on the back of 6 consecutive matches unbeaten in the league stretching back to late September.

It was the visitors with the first chance of the afternoon, as Jordan Hugill saw a header denied by home goalkeeper Josh Keeley.

The hosts struggled for chance creation for much of the first half, with the best opportunity seeing a hit by Lamine Fanne drift wide of the mark.

During the second half, Luton began to see a few half-chances arise. Substitute Gideon Kodua had a strike saved by away keeper Cameron Dawson, before Jerry Yates saw a strike go wide, with his claims it was deflected wide not heeded by the referee.

Two more Hatters subs would come close, but neither Zack Nelson nor Jacob Brown could hit the target as the game drifted to a scoreless conclusion.

Luton are next in action next weekend, when they travel to Yorkshire for a clash with Barnsley.
