Good afternoon and welcome to
Nottingham. The rainbow
question marks ahead of today's
game. The sky is cleared, and
the only thing bursting at the
seams is the stadium's
atmosphere, brought together by
two passionate fan bases who
jostle for position to give
their team the edge towards
three points this afternoon.
Mangala. Now Elanga. Trying to
skip away from the camera on
the far side and does. It's up
against Burke. Waits for the
overlapping run of Harry
Toffolo. Teasing in delivery
towards Chris Wood. Excellent
save from Kaminsky. Neat little
head on to Morris. Looking to
do the same towards Brown, but
it's one. And now Mangala. And
now Elanga. Up against Lokia.
Anthony Elanga. Dominguez.
Nudges it wide. Serge Aurier.
First time delivery. And the
header is just over from an
onrushing Sangare. Now Lokia.
Under pressure from Wood. Finds
Ogbene. Tio Ogbene shaping up
and drives it in! Chaker Brown
agonisingly close to the far
post. Cole and Morris at the
front, likewise. An important
touch from Murillo at the front
post. Here's an opportunity for
him to add to that tally.
Stunder towards the far post.
He does find Morris, but his
cushion header is only back to
Ogbene. Now Pelirudder Kampanzu.
Bounces lucky and falls to Ogbene.
Drills it low to Brown. Just
skips wide of the far post. It's
a half chance for Chaker Brown.
Very nearly found its way
trickling into that bottom
corner. Dominguez. Space for
Murillo to step into. Stands it
up towards Chris Wood, but it's
a fantastic header from Ted
Emengi. He'll need to be at it
again. That's a lovely delivery
in. It's right underneath the
goalmouth for Scramble and
Lutentown getting it away.
Here's Mangala stepping forward.
Orrier started to move, but it's
now Anthony Alanga. In between
crosses. Wood! Ted Emengi gets an
important touch in there as well
to deflect it over for a
Nottingham Forest corner. Great
move, though, started by the
skipper in the bottom corner.
Seen that left foot on numerous
occasions already this season.
Do just that. Spun in towards
the far post, but Sangare's
clearance. Only going to fall
out eventually to show him with
the volley. It's a great strike
from tight junk. Cushioned it
on his chest and then slammed
it goalwards. Back to Anthony
Alanga. Now gives what this
space is going to wind one up.
As you know, we find surgery
who slips at the opportune
moment. Still playing. They're
still going home towards the
far post. It's Chris would who
heads over. It's a really good
opportunity for Chris would at
the far post. Surgery looks to
the skies. He slipped just as he
was taking on. Steve Cooper deep
in conversation with Anthony
Taylor, but now Morgan gives
white squares it and it's
beautiful to Sangare. Two thirds
of the ground thought that was
in Ibrahim Sangare probably
should have put Nottingham
Forest one nil up. And that is
the final action of the first
half. What an opportunity for
Nottingham Forest on the stroke
of halftime gives white racing
away. He squares the ball
brilliantly towards Morris.
Now would and gives white
relieves Alanga. Chris would
could be in here. Chris Woods
incisive break away from
Nottingham Forest gives white
Alanga both involved. And it's
the man tasked with leading the
line. Gives white teasing
delivery towards wood. Chris
would could have had a hat trick
this afternoon. It's another
guilt edged opportunity for a
man of his quality. Chong's got
a bit of space. Jacob Brown
wants the ball played early.
Drags it into Morris. Now to
Ben a just teased wide chill
Ben a dances around. It works
an angle. Brown glorious
opportunity for Luton Town to
equalize. Ben a does so well to
delay and delay and delay and
then stand the ball up towards
Jacob Brown, who should really
do better is Gibbs white. Get a
second bite in more gives wise
going to strike early. Push to
safety by Kaminsky. Good save.
Morgan gives white gets on the
ball or air back to Gibbs white.
It's a lovely slide ball into
Morgan gives white dances inside.
Can't find the far corner,
though. Wonderful build up play
from Nottingham Forest. It's a
round of applause from Steve
Cooper on the touch line. Volley
slices up into the air free
header for Lockyer. Finds
Morris, although it's
intercepted, and now Nottingham
Forest can break with Morgan
gives white. Antony Alanga
dancing around the ball cuts
inside teases one towards the
far post for wood. Chris Wood
has his and Nottingham Forest
second of the afternoon.
Wonderful in swing of Anthony
Alanga. We'll hope that his
first against tricky trees comes
this afternoon. Here's Chihuahua
Bennett. It's in towards Woodrow.
Toffolo slams it up and out.
Barkley brings it down
brilliantly all coming together
between Gibbs white and Barkley
there and Morgan gives white go
straight into the referee's
notebook for that. Andrews
Townsend is going to take over
free kick duties. Well, the
bounce might kill him now.
Mengian, it's in by Chihuahua
Bennett. A Luton Town lifeline
as Chihuahua Bennett has slammed
that into the roof of the net.
Came from nothing. Andrews
Townsend's delivery. Nodded on
by Serge Aurier and then between
Mengian and Bennett. Rifled the
ball into the back of the net.
Goal is given. And Luton Town
can celebrate Chihuahua Bennett's
first Hatter's goal. Skips it
over to Tom Lockyer. Hangs it up
towards Corley Woodrow. It's
headed away by Joe Worrell only
as far as Ross Barkley. Oh, it's
wonderful football. Corley
Woodrow. Eight minutes of added
time which will be greeted with
cheers and roars from the Luton
Town away end. Here's Lockyer.
Now Andrews Townsend. Cuts in
the midfield to hang up towards
Woodrow. It's going to fall out
to Doughty. Wants to strike it
and does make straight to the
midriff of Ryan Yates. Nakamba.
Now Barkley. Luton Town will be
enthused by how they've kept the
ball the last few minutes.
Started to create opportunities
as well. Is there one more in it
as it's thrust towards Adebayo
who brings it down. Adebayo!
Limbs in the away end as Elijah
Adebayo is equalised for Luton
Town. What a recovery. What a
comeback. Adebayo chests it down
himself before slamming it home.
It's a brilliant response from
Luton Town. He muscles off
Worrell. Chests the ball down and
then fires it past Matt Turner.
Does brilliantly well, Adebayo.
Luton Town have been knocking on
the door. Elijah Adebayo has
answered. Game finally in the
balance. It's thrust forward.
It's a flick on. It's Joe Worrell.
Koyate. Real tussle. This
brilliant work from Ogbene. Now
Doughty pointing players forward.
He wants support. Has to hook it
into an empty area of turf.
Einar. Punched in towards Ryan
Yates. Ross Barkley had to be
involved and was. Although he's
lost play. Williams into Woods.
Flags up. Flags up for offside.
It will be checked. Chris Wood
has been halted on that hunt for
a hat trick by the offside flag.
Nakamba. Kabore on the overlap.
Here goes Issa Kabore. He's got
pace to burn. He skips away from
Gibbs White and wins a corner for
Luton Town, does he? No, a goal
kick and that is the final piece
of action. Boos ring around the
city ground from the home
supporter who had done all the
hard work. The points are shared.
Nottingham Forest 2, Luton Town 2.
