Doncaster Rovers 2 (1) Luton Town 0 (0)

Lacklustre Luton turned in their most abject performance of the season as they surrendered 2-0 in South Yorkshire today.

Only a series of fine stops from keeper Dean Brill kept the score down as Hatters' number one was left exposed time and again by his anonymous team-mates.

Goals in each half from Matt Mills and Mark McCammon sealed victory for the hosts who dominated from start to finish.

Hatters manager Mick Harford named an unchanged side from the one that lost 1-0 at Nottingham Forest the week before for Luton's first-ever visit to the Keepmoat Stadium against high-flying Doncaster Rovers.

Rovers should have taken the lead as early as the second minute when Paul Green cut in from the right and flashed fierce cross/shot across the goal, but McCammon was caught flat-footed at the far post and was unable to turn the ball home.

McCammon almost ran beyond Luton's defence soon after, before Brill pulled off two great saves to deny Mills as Donny ran riot. On five minutes Mills saw Brill turn his shot, from a near post, corner over the bar, before the Luton stopper produced a phenomenal save seconds later to turn his header, bound for the top right-hand corner, just past the mark.

The hosts continued to press and struggling Town could barely get a touch against their classy opponents. Brill did well to palm away James Coppinger's ninth minute effort, before getting down to gather Gareth Roberts' low drive two minutes later.

Things were so easy for Rovers it almost seemed like the hosts were enjoying a summer's training session against lacklustre Luton.

Donny continued to dominate and twice went close on 16 minutes. A deep free-kick was headed back across goal and Brill missed his punch as he challenged McCammon at the front post, but Lewis Emanuel was on hand to head ball of the line. His clearance fell straight to Adrian Hird and, with the goal at his mercy, he fired straight at Don Hutchison who deflected his effort off the line.

Town were struggling to get the ball out of their own half, but Rovers just could not find the killer touch despite creating stacks of chances.

A long ball over the top sent Gareth Taylor clear on 20 minutes, but Brill produced yet another good stop low to his left, with Coppinger firing the follow-up wide.

Luton finally had a slice of luck on 28 minutes when Matthew Spring only received a yellow card for a two-footed lunge on Coppinger as the visitors continued to be outclassed.

And Rovers finally broke the deadlock on 34 minutes when Brian Stock's corner was header goalwards by McCammon. Brill once again produced a great stooping stop, but Mills was on hand to roll the ball home from close range.

But Luton should have been level just three minutes later with their first effort of the afternoon. Stephen O'Leary produced some good work to find Sam Parkin on the left. Neil Sullivan misjudged the striker's cross, but Darren Currie could only head wastefully wide at the far post.

Donny continued to enjoy the better of the game after the break and should have doubled their lead on 54 minutes. A short corner routine allowed Paul Green allowed acres of space in Luton's box, but he fired into the side-netting with only Brill to beat.

Town though were showing far more heart and composure in the second half, but could only manage a wayward Spring effort on the hour after some good possession on the edge of Rovers' box.

At the other end, Brill produced an outstanding one-handed save to deny McCammon, after a long throw had been allowed to bounce across the six yard box.

Luton almost conjured a goal out of nothing with 14 minutes left when Doncaster were unable to properly clear Emanuel's header across goal. The ball fell to Currie and substitute Jason Price threw himself in the way to deflect the ball past the post.

Hatters finally registered their first shot of the afternoon on target a minute later. Parkin did well to feed Spring on the edge of the area, but his well-struck shot was straight at Sullivan.

Stuart Elliott almost scored a superb second for Rovers with 10 minutes left. Having skipped past Ed Asafu-Adjaye his exquisite chip flew over the motionless Brill and on to the roof of the net

And Rovers made sure of victory with their second goal on 81 minutes. Doncaster whipped a free-kick into Luton's box and McCammon rose highest to plant his header into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
