An interesting end to a game that wasn't filled with thrills but it sees league favourites Luton Town the first to top the table.

Though this isn't all this weekend has to offer.

There's plenty more to see this season and we don't have to wait long for more. There's 22 games across League's One and Two to feast upon tomorrow starting with Cardiff City v Peterborough United at 12:30 BST.

As we will be all season long, our live text will be here to guide you through all the action including all the build-up.

See you tomorrow for more? Of course we will.

AFC Wimbledon

AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson speaking to Sky Sports:

"I'm gutted for my players and supporters, to lose the game in that manner was cruel.

"It's a fortunate goal from their point of view. They made us defend that situation, caught us in that position but that rarely happened to my team all night. I thought we defended brilliantly.

"To lose it on an own goal on the side of the bar is a hard one to take.

"They carve you open, you sort of say fair play, you accept that. [Johnson] has defended that situation really well all night and he has to put his head on it. It could go on top of the bar, it could go over. It hits the underside and goes in. It's a horrible way to lose.

"I was really pleased with the structure of the team. I don't want to be the unlucky loser in the side. We didn't do enough to go and win it but I thought we deserved a draw."

Luton Town

Luton striker and player of the matchNahki Wellsspeaking to Sky Sports:

"The result was the most important thing tonight, it was all about winning and getting off to a good start. Set the precedence for the season and start off as strong as we can.

"It wasn't pretty but it's three points and that's what is most important.

"I knew the goal would come but I didn't foresee it coming in that manner. I knew we just had to stay patient. We were very sloppy at times and we could have probed a lot more but we'll take it. Football is about winning and that's what we need to do this season.

"Wimbledon made it tough, they played the game how they would have wanted to play. They slowed it down at times and we just needed to speed it up as much as we can and really hurt them. We just lacked quality in moments.

"We're a new group, there's a lot of lads coming together in a short space of time so as we go we'll get better and we'll get stronger."

Amongst a sea of zeroes, Luton Town get the honour of picking up the first points of the season - even if they didn't get the first goal.

Hatters fans might want to screenshot the table now as it's likely to change over the weekend but as it stands, Luton are where many thought they would be. At the very top.

One match down, 23 more to go.

Want to know what other matches will be worth a glance over the next two days?

There's plenty more treats in store if you know where to look.

Luton Town

Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield speaking to Sky Sports:

"We are an evolving group. Adding lots of bodies, we are on the journey to the final product. We are not there yet, I think that's obvious.

"Still want to be better at the top part of the pitch. We got there a lot and weren't clinical enough.

"There's lots in my mind right now but we have to be pleased to get off to a winning start."

Luton have got the win and there was some bright spots in there but nobody stood out. Milli Alli was quick and pacey but the final ball was not there and we don't know what his position is yet.

One of the changes sparked something because it caused Cauley Woodrow to put it into their own net.

Luton were finding their feet a little bit but it's three points in the bag.

It wasn't pretty, it wasn't brilliant but it's three points on the board.

I think there's more questions than answers.

It was not vintage stuff and Wimbledon will feel like they've been unlucky but that's football. How many times were Luton unlucky in the Premier League?

It was disjointed but they got the job done. It's not how Luton fans will want their team to play at home but they got it done.

An own goal decides the opening match of the new EFL season in a game that won't live long in the memories.

Hatters right-back Reuell Walters provided the most dangerous strike of the evening when he unleashed from outside the box only to see his effort thwarted by new Dons keeper Nathan Bishop.

It seemed like that may be it for the danger but Nahki Wells' excellent cross into the box needed to be handled by Dons defender Ryan Johnson before it landed on Cauley Woodrow's head.

Johnson's intervention proved costly in itself though, diverting it away from Bishop's gloves and into the back of the net to provide a heart-lurching start to the season and one that will only have Luton Town fansmildly more excited for what's ahead.

Nathan Asiimwe desperately tries to curl one in for AFC Wimbledon but Luton keeper Josh Keeley is light on his feet to collect.

Seconds are dwindling.

Four added minutes.

Not a lot of time for AFC Wimbledon to find an equaliser but it can be done. However, they will need to change the current tide really quick to do so.

That goal has certainly woken Kenilworth Road up, "we're top of the league," sing the Luton fans.

It's a really unfortunate goal for Ryan Johnson to concede. He goes to head it over the bar and instead catches the inside of the crossbar to bounce down into the back of the net.

Luton are leading now but the closest they've come to scoring a goal of their own was through Reuell Walters' second-half strike.

He's now withdrawn in a defensive switch for Mark McGuinness, while the Dons bring on striker Aron Sasu in place of Myles Hippolyte as the seek a late equaliser.

That's a great ball in from Nahki Wells, he's just looked up and spotted the run from Cauley Woodrow.

It's a great run from Woodrow but the pass from Wells is brilliant.

It's definitely an own goal. It hits the underside of the bar actually.

Luton started to run out of ideas but it was such a great ball. Just ask questions of the defender.

Ouch.

Dons defenderRyan Johnson can see Cauley Woodrow barging into the box and feels he needs to intervene with Luton's delivery.

He does but his headed touch takes it away from his keeper and into the back of the net.

A painful one to concede and given how this game has gone, maybe the deciding factor.

"Is this a library?" sing the AFC Wimbledon supporters while the Hatters try and find a way through.

It's been disappointing but any sort of win would be huge.

It's the Wimbledon fans making the most noise at the moment.

Antwoine Hackford is brought on to make his AFC Wimbledon debut.

He replaces Josh Kelly while Jordan Clark makes way for Luton Town to make room for Cauley Woodrow.

After a little spell in Luton's final third, the ball is at the other end and Reuell Walters has another good connection towards goal from the box.

Nathan Asiimwe is there to put in the vital block though.

The last time the defender played a competitive match before this evening, it was for Walsall against the Dons in the play-off final. He caught boss Johnnie Jackson's eye that day and it seems his boss' eyesight has proven to be sharp.

AFC Wimbledon will be delighted.

Luton have made the two changes but it's them who have been the better side since then.
