We’ll start at the bottom this week, as Luton took a big step back towards the Championship after failing to beat Everton at home on Friday night. That kind of felt like their last throw of the dice, especially with Forest facing Sheffield United the following day and Burnley having crept right up on them too.
They fell behind to a fucking joke of a penalty awarded by VAR. Mengi was holding Branthwaite, but that happens a dozen times in every game and it’s never given. It was miles away from the ball too. Unbelievable that they gave that, especially having turned down a much clearer one for a foul on McNeil earlier. Calvert-Lewin just about put it away in unconvincing fashion.
Luton equalised with a superb goal by Adebayo, who brought it down on his chest, threw Ashley Old out of the way and then smashed past Pickford. Luton piled on the pressure late on but the goal wouldn’t come and although the point put them level with Forest, they knew it wasn’t enough.
They play West Ham and Fulham in their last two games though, and both of those are opportunities to pick up some points so they’re not quite dead yet.
