Jack Wilshere wins his first trophy as a head coach. In the final match of the Football League Trophy, Luton Town beat Stockport 3:1.

For the great head of the London Arsenal and the English Cup champion, this success will brighten the end of his debut season as a coach. The young Fahivian faces a difficult task - to bring great glory to the club. After relegation from the Premier League in 2024, Luton survived the rapid fall and immediately sits in 10th place in the Premier League..

For the Kapelushniks, this is the Jubilee, 10th performance at the legendary Wembley Stadium. This victory added to the treasure trove of historical blessings for the club, ranking alongside the triumph in the 1988 League Cup and the victory in the playoff finals of the Championship in 2023.

Unfortunately for Stockport, the main arena of the region is becoming unlucky: the team won only one of their seven matches there. In addition, their disastrous series against Luton continued - with 18 wins in 18 matches since 1968. Stockport also played all three of their EFL Trophy finals (previously in 1992 and 1993). The duel began with a controversial episode.

Already on the 2nd half, referee Martin Coy did not recognize a penalty at the Stockport goal, when Josh Stokes pushed Isaiah Jones into the back, which led to the fall of the rest (repeat, clearly recorded the contact).

Having lost the punishment, Stockport quickly became lucky and unsurprisingly ahead in the 11th century. Adama Sedibe latched on to Odin Bailey's pass, getting ahead of goalkeeper Mads Andersen and firing a low shot past goalkeeper James Shea. For the striker, this became the eighth goal since the current transfer from St. Johnstone and the fourth productive match since then.

Prote Luton finishes quickly preparing for the shot: Stockport defender Ethan Pye ice without cutting the ball off the air after Kel Naismith's cross. . Vin crossed a diagonal pass from Jordan Clarke, dove into the penalty area and fired hard at the legs of goalkeeper Corey Addai.

Zgodom, 35-year veteran Naki Wells led his team forward. After the jeweler's touch to the ball, after a lob from Neismith, he effectively turned around and sent the ball to the net. Even before the break, Luton were able to score the third goal, but the super team's champion Ben Osborne with a most heartfelt tackle stopped Jones's careless burst, turning the goal..

Another time passed at a much calmer pace. Jordan Clarke was close to increasing the advantage of Williamshire's team, but the loss in the match was already set at the compensation hour. In the first 10 games, Luton managed to score the third goal, which left them with a double from Naki Wells..
