James Collins fired a hat-trick on his debut as Luton thrashed Sky Bet League Two rivals Yeovil 8-2 at Kenilworth Road.

Otis Khan's free-kick gave Yeovil an early lead, but Luton hit back through Olly Lee, Collins and Alan McCormack before Isaac Vassell struck twice in as many minutes to put his side 5-1 ahead.

Marek Stech then saved Khan's penalty and Collins helped himself to two more after the break before Francois Zoko headed Yeovil's second.

Forest Green were denied victory in their first Football League fixture after letting slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at home against Barnet.

The National League play-off winners led 2-0 at half-time thanks to Christian Doidge's double, but Barnet hit back in the second half through Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Jamal Campbell-Ryce before having Jack Taylor sent off in the closing stages.

Lincoln marked their first Football League game in six years with a 2-2 draw at Wycombe.

Wycombe scored twice in three minutes shortly before half-time through Luke O'Nien and Joe Jacobson after Matt Green had given Lincoln the lead, but Josh Ginnelly fired the Imps level soon after the restart.

Jodi Jones' hat-trick secured Coventry a 3-0 home win against Notts County.

Jones opened the scoring after kick-off had been delayed 10 minutes due to lightning and torrential rain at the Ricoh Arena and scored twice more in the closing stages.

Port Vale ran out comfortable 3-1 winners at Harry Kewell's Crawley.

Michael Tonge's early free-kick and Antony Kay's header put Vale in control and although Enzio Boldewijn reduced the arrears, Dan Turner headed the visitors' third.

Reid's third-minute penalty, after Jake Carroll had handled, was saved by Cambridge goalkeeper David Forde, but the Exeter striker still scored League Two's opening goal of the season two minutes later.

Mohamed Eisa fired Cheltenham in front, but Thompson equalised early in the second period and fired the winner in the first minute of time added on.

But Mickey Demetriou smashed home Newport's second and McClousky levelled in the fourth minute of time added on.
