    Bristol City 2-3 Luton

    As it stands Luton would move up to 11th in the Championship table - they're finishing the season very well indeed.

    Bristol City, meanwhile, cannot seem to buy a win. Nigel Pearson's short-term deal expires at the end of the season and there's a lot of uncertainty at Ashton Gate.

    "We're really happy with the game. I thought it was a good game.

    "We're disappointed not to win the game but, if there's ever a game to be happy with a draw, it's this one.

    "A lot of teams invest a lot of money in this league and unfortunately we haven't been able to do that since I've been here, so it's great for us to be able to compete.

    "Our consistency over the past month hasn't been what it should have been but our demands need to be high and I just feel we've dropped a bit, so I want to get back up there.

    "There's work to do."
