Luton Town fight back against Crystal Palace to earn a crucial point

A stoppage-time goal from Cauley Woodrow saw Luton Town snatch a draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles made a fast start and Jean-Philippe Mateta put his team into the lead after just 11 minutes.

A pass back from Alfie Doughty towards his goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski led to a mix-up between Gabriel Osho and Kaminski, and Daniel Munoz took advantage before giving the ball to Mateta, who finished with a clever flick into the corner of the net.

The home side had 21 shots during the match and missed a host of chances to make sure they took all three points, with Mateta, Daniel Munoz, Jordan Ayew and Ebere Eze going close before Odsonne Edouard hit the crossbar late on.

Palace were then punished for not taking their opportunities when second-half substitute Woodrow headed in a cross from Andros Townsend in the 96th minute to spark wild celebrations in the away end and earn what could be a vital point for Luton in the fight against relegation.
