Sky Bet League One Luton Town held Championship side Sheffield Wednesday to a 0-0 draw at Hillsborough to force an FA Cup third-round replay.

Steven Fletcher had a series of first-half opportunities but sent an early header over the bar before testing Luton 'keeper James Shea with another aerial effort 23 minutes in.

Fletcher then turned provider on the half-hour mark, teeing up Adam Reach to fire wide, before Reach again shot off target from Morgan Fox's deep cross.

Luke Berry had a rare effort for the visitors comfortably saved before Wednesday's Marco Matias' forced Shea to tip over his bar on the stroke of half-time.

Matias drew another smart save from Shea with a strike from inside the box after the break and the 'keeper had to be sharp to stop Barry Bannan from making the breakthrough on 77 minutes.
