Morecambe 3-0 Luton Town

Morecambe's Kevin Ellison scored his eighth goal of the season against Luton

Morecambe eased to victory over 10-man Luton, who dropped out of the automatic promotion spots in League Two.

Jamie Devitt's cross found Alex Kenyon, who nodded back across goal for Kevin Ellison to put the home side in front.

Luton defender Steve McNulty was sent off for two bookings before half-time.

Mark Hughes headed in Shaun Beeley's cross for 2-0 and visiting goalkeeper Mark Tyler denied Ellison his second before Padraig Amond sealed a comfortable win from six yards.

The Shrimps can now claim ownership of the Eric Morecambe Trophy, a prize created to celebrate the restoration of a statue of the television star in Morecambe.

The comedian, who died in 1984, was born in the Lancashire town from which he took his stage name, while Luton was his favourite team.

Luton Town manager John Still told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"Whatever we spoke about before the game, however we planned it out, people weren't up for doing that today.

"We have defended magnificently this year, but we've had a poor day.

"We're going to get beat, we all get beat, I'm not worried about that. It's about how you get beat and today we got beat because we were too poor defensively.

"I can't think of a defender who defended well enough, perhaps Nathan Doyle, but other than him defensively we were not at it."
