Just when it looked like Luton’s belief had evaporated, along came Cauley Woodrow. The striker’s first Premier League goal since scoring against Crystal Palace for Fulham almost a decade ago punished the home side for their profligacy in front of goal with a late equaliser to end a run of five defeats in all competitions.
It was some relief for Luton’s manager, Rob Edwards, who had watched his team put in a strangely muted performance as they trailed to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s classy finish in the first half. But the hosts, who have now conceded 20 goals in the last 15 minutes of matches this season, should have put the game beyond their opponents before Woodrow popped up to head home a cross from the former Palace player Andros Townsend with virtually the last action of the game. Suddenly there is hope again.
