Luton Town went into Saturday’s match against Reading with just two points separating themselves from Middlesbrough for the final spot in the EFL Championship promotion play-off. So while much of the pressure was on Middlesbrough, a Luton win over Reading would have sixth place locked up for the Hatters.
That made Harry Cornick’s crafty goal all the more remarkable.
In stoppage time at the end of the first half, Cornick noticed that Reading goalkeeper Orjan Nyland had been rolling the ball out without properly checking for Luton players. So, Cornick figured he’d give hiding behind Nyland a try and see what happened.
