A Michael Smith penalty took his season tally to seven and was courtesy of a sparkling Djeidi Gassama run through the heart of the Luton defence. The first half was turgid and was Luton take the lead through an Alfie Doughty long-range strike - with Wednesday fans voicing their dispassion with the performance at the break.
Luton’s run of winless games stretched to nine and Wednesday remain looking for answers at home. With the xG figures standing at the Owls’ 2.22 to Luton’s 0.4, it tells you everything you need to know on a game they really should have won in the end.
Still, a bright second dig debut from Stuart Armstrong and further good efforts elsewhere. Here are the ratings.
9. Djeidi Gassama - 8
Some bright flicks. Some good defensive work. One of few that came through the first half with credit in truth. Won the penalty with a remarkable, mazy run. Dipped in and out a touch but what a daft moment. Frightens teams. | UGC
10. Jamal Lowe - 5
A nice touch or two early doors but wasn't able to sustain any real threat. Not entirely his own doing, but had fewer touches than any player on the pitch in the first half and came off in a switch-up for Smith at the break. | UGC
11. Josh Windass - 7
Played an understated roll. Much of the first half didn't go his own way - far better after the break as with the rest of the Wednesday side. Cut-in onto his left foot after the hour mark nearly created a goal. Grew in threat. | UGC
12. Michael Smith - 8
Strode on at the break to offer more of a target and did all that and more. Struck his penalty sweetly to level things up. His introduction one of a few things that seemed to turn the game in the second half. | UGC
