Luton Town kept their Premier League survival hopes alive as Elijah Adebayo’s brilliant equaliser earned a 1-1 home draw against Everton on Friday night.
Having not started a game since February, Luton’s top scorer announced his return from injury in stunning fashion by collecting a high ball on his chest and bamboozling Ashley Young before netting via clinical finish beyond Jordan Pickford to earn a valuable point for his side.
Thomas Kaminski in the Luton goal twice saved his team with superb saves in the second half, as the hosts held on to prolong their survival hopes.It took until midway through the first half for either side to threaten, Dwight McNeil’s fizzing cross turned in the direction of his own goal by Mengi, the defender bailed out by a point-blank save from Kaminski.
The reply from Luton was imminent. Albert Sambi Lokonga started it, hitting a raking pass high towards Adebayo who was being closely attended by Young. The Luton striker took the ball on his chest and as he did so the over-balanced Young crumpled to the ground, leaving Adebayo unimpeded eight yards out as he swept the equaliser in left-footed past Pickford.
