So, six goals to get us up and running for the next nine months. Hopefully the shape of things to come.

Graeme Jones and Luton are back in the second tier and look like they can write some stories over the campaign to come.

Middlesbrough, under hometown boy Jonathan Woodgate, showed their promise too and could too deliver some highlights.

We'll be back across the weekend with more gems from the EFL, starting with all the 15:00 BST kick-offs tomorrow afternoon. We go live from 14:00 BST. Join us.

Until then, good night. Welcome back EFL, it's been emotional.

Here's our developing report of an entertaining, incident-packed season opener at Kenilworth Road...

Before we hear from some of the key men after a wonderful opening game of the season, a reminder that there's still time to give your player ratings out of 10 for every player involved tonight.

You can have your say until about 30 minutes after the full-time whistle blew.

What an awesome contest. Drama to the end.

Two corking goals, full of commitment. Points shared.

Outstanding from both teams. Real character and entertainment.

What a return to the Championship for Luton.

Bit scrappy and tense now, unsurprisingly.

What a game this has been. Not sure the players will enjoy their defensive reviews...

Moncur's cross found no one home in the Boro box. No danger.

Last gasp stuff now...

Potts is playing on. Real grit.

Dan Potts down, receiving treatment. Luton maybe buying themselves some time? No, he looks in a bit of pain and it's a shoulder injury which might see him come off and the Hatters down to 10 for the last throes.

No stretcher... will he carry on?!?

Kenilworth Road exhales as a Hayden Coulson cross brushes out of play to no danger.

Wlll we have yet more drama?!

WHAT A SAVE DARREN RANDOLPH! MASSIVE PALMS TO A STINGER FROM JAMES COLLINS!

It's now the Middlesbrough defenders who seem a little paralysed by fear, as a sweeping cross from Dan Potts on his right foot is nodded just wide by James Collins.

Got in between.

Ashley Fletcher then works an opportunity down the left, but his shot is beaten down by Simon Sluga.

FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME. WE'RE IN FOR A DING-DONG FINISH.

WHAT EBB AND FLOW.

Luton now look pumped. Buzzing.

They clear their lines with calm and purpose, edging down the left flank and eventually Dan Potts wins a corner.

Boro clear but Luton recycle and are right back at it.

What a noise now. What a vibrant atmosphere.

Simon Sluga is on one now! Comes thundering out to the edge of the box to stop Britt Assombalonga from bundling his way through.

If only he'd not allowed that timid shot to slip beyond and through him in the first half.

Luton have a dangerous free-kick now.

Horrendous penalty from Britt Assombalonga! He whacks it miles over the top of the crossbar, and Luton have a lifeline.

Let-off. What was the DR Congo international doing?!

Hayden Coulson hauled down in the box by Martin Cranie! Penalty to Boro!

Game over?

Simon Sluga saves! Ashley Fletcher sort of back-heel flicks the ball through his legs to put Britt Assombalonga away... but's saved!

Boro now set up to stop Luton from progressing, shutting down space and forcing an error.

They do just that and the ball is swiftly fizzed to Marcus Browne down the right who wins a corner.

DANIEL AYALA HEADER! Point-blank save by Simon Sluga! Might just have kept them in the game...
