Cameron McGeehan's late penalty was his third goal of the season for Luton Town

Cameron McGeehan scored two penalties as Luton Town maintained their lead at the top of League Two with a late win over Newport.

McGeehan scored his first penalty after Jamie Turley's foul on Danny Hylton.

Jennison Myrie-Williams levelled for County direct from a corner after substitute Jon Parkin's presence caused problems in the Luton defence.

Johnny Mullins was sent-off for the hosts but McGeehan's stoppage time penalty secured victory.

Darren Jones was punished for his challenge on Pelly Ruddock, a decision which infuriated Newport players and staff.

Newport County manager Warren Feeney told BBC Radio Wales: "You could see by their [Luton] reaction that they got out of jail free tonight.

"I think the first [penalty] was a foul but we should have dealt with it. But the last one was an absolute disgraceful decision.

"I thought our boys were absolutely outstanding tonight. I think you could see the desire and passion and to get done by an absolute joke of a decision is heart breaking for them."
