Wings keeper Lee Butcher pulled off a string of fine saves, include one from Lawless, to thwart the Hatters.

The 28-year-old said: “I think we would aim to be coming here and winning, and then looking forward to the second round draw, so it’s disappointing.

“We’ve had a few chances there and first half they were better than us. When it came to the crunch they were better than us.”
