Luton Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Hatters rally for late point

A monumental game between two Premier League relegation scrappers saw Luton Town strike late to draw Nottingham Forest 1-1 at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.

The Hatters went down on a Chris Wood goal but had a proper response to that through Luke Berry's 90th-minute equalizer, grabbing a point on the heels of a blown 3-0 lead away to Bournemouth in a Wednesday.

Forest's point keeps it three points ahead of 18th-place Luton, but the Tricky Trees are still awaiting a decision on a possible points deduction that may sink their points total into the bottom three.

Rob Edwards' Hatters will be content with the response to going behind but ultimately wonder what could've been at home to their nearest rival.

What’s next?

The international break, then Luton go to Spurs a 11am ET Saturday, March 30. That's the same time Forest host Crystal Palace.

Luton vs Nottingham Forest live updates — By Nick Mendola

Luton vs Nottingham Forest final score: 1-1

Goals: Wood (34'), Berry (90')

Luke Berry ties it up!

Wow.

Luton subs

Cauley Woodrow came on at the break and now Andros Townsend has joined him at the hour mark.

Luton removed Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu and assist leader Alfie Doughty. Formation switch, it seems.

Halftime — Luton 0-1 Nottingham Forest

Forest deserve to be in front, if just.

Luton's had most of the ball but have only produced 0.12 xG off four shots.

Forest have their pretty goal and is out-attempting the Hatters 6-4 while compiling 1.01 xG.

Teden Mengi goal ruled out

Luton are level but no!

Teden Mengi is whistled for a handball before he taps home.

Forest let off.

Chris Wood puts Forest on top!

Morgan Gibbs-White gets a cut pass from Neco Williams and chops a cross to the back post.

Chris Wood doesn't need the invitation and snaps the outside of his foot into the ball to defy Kaminski and open the scoring at Kenilworth Road.

Forest come within feet of goal

Divock Origi has Luton keeper Thomas Kaminski beaten but a desperate lunge by right center back Reece Burke keeps it scoreless!

By far the best chance of the game, but Forest cannot get the goal.

Lively start as three huge points can be won

Ross Barkley looks a man on fire and so does Ryan Yates, as these two fierce rivals are being fed by the Kenilworth Road crowd.

Lots on offer here.
