Luton boss Nathan Jones confident of play-off final spot despite being held by Huddersfield

Luton Town boss Nathan Jones has backed his side to go on and make it to Wembley despite only drawing the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final at Kenilworth Road.

Daniel Sinani had given Huddersfield a first-half lead, but a Sonny Bradley equaliser on the half-hour breathed fresh life into the Hatters.

Luton are a genuine minnow in terms of budget compared to the other clubs in the play-offs and came into them as rank outsiders, but Jones believes they are still very capable of causing an upset.

"It's the same job that we knew we had to do, it's not like suddenly it's impossible," he said after the game.

"We've come here, we haven't lost the game and that was really, really important we didn't lose the game.

"First half we were excellent, we should have got more from the half, but that's the way it goes, and it's a wonderful tie to go away at Huddersfield now.

"They were probably better in the second half without getting the chances, controlled possession in the middle of the field and we struggled to deal with that.

"We struggled to get to that press, but first half I thought we were electric, I really did.

"Front-footed, opportunities, we should have had a pen, should have had a sending off, all those things, (James) Bree had a chance, Harry Cornick's had a chance, Henri Lansbury's had a glorious opportunity, so I thought we were really, really on top, and a wonderful football game.

"Tactically both sides went at it and it just shows we're a Championship side."

Huddersfield were denied what looked like a clear penalty in the first half before taking the lead, but Terriers boss Carlos Corberan admitted a draw was probably a fair reflection of the game.

"I thought the draw was the fair result today," he admitted.

"Luton were a little better than us in the first half, but I thought the team was excellent in the second half.

"Duane Holmes played wide on the pitch during the first half, so we switched his position to a more central one.

"I thought we controlled the ball in the second half, which is exactly what we wanted to do."

"The second half makes me feel like this was a positive performance.

"Now we must focus on recovery, and being ready for another really tough game on Monday night."
