It was an evening that could have been a lot better for obvious reasons, but it could also have been a lot worse.
Bristol City's dismal first-half performance was well wide of the mark in comparison to recent showings since the turn of the year and against a side who harbour promotion ambitions, they were made to pay.
It took just over three minutes for Carlton Morris to open the scoring when he headed in Cody Drameh's cross after Cam Pring gave the ball away in a dangerous area. Losing possession became a reoccurring theme in the first half as Luton had the visitors pinned inside their own half.
