Jamie Reid’s first-half penalty lifted Stevenage to the top of Sky Bet League One with a hard-fought 1–0 win over Peterborough United.

Reid converted from the spot after Tom O’Connor handled Dan Sweeney’s header, and despite Posh pressure after the break, Boro held firm to inflict Luke Williams’ first defeat in charge and end their own four-game winless run.

In the evening's other fixture. Luton Town claimed their first home league win under Jack Wilshere with a 2–1 victory over Huddersfield at Kenilworth Road.

Jake Richards opened the scoring with a deflected strike before a superb 25-yard free-kick from Leo Castledine pulled the Terriers level.

But the Hatters hit back quickly as Jerry Yates tucked in after Lamine Fanne’s shot was parried, securing a deserved win despite late Huddersfield pressure.
