What an error. Lee Hendrie was covering the game on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday and he was in disbelief.

He said: "No way. Oh my word! He's behind you! What is he thinking?! I cannot believe he hasn't even looked behind him. It's just an absolute gift. I can't believe he hasn't looked.

"That's a schoolboy error isn't it from the goalkeeper. Right on the stroke of half-time. I can't believe he's done it. Nathan Jones is absolutely over the moon as you can imagine. That is a massive, massive goal in the playoff chase."

Nyland felt the need to apologise to Reading fans at half-time.

There were no further goals as Luton won 1-0.

Their three points means they have finished the Championship season in sixth and have qualified for the playoffs.
