Luton Town vs Nottingham Forest
Well, in a game that had such high stakes - Luton battled back to secure a point against Nottingham Forest. At times, it really was a game that held the visceral drama that one may find in the Championship. Yet, with both teams vying not to return to England's second tier, the home crowd were treated to a high intensity match that was stoked by Wood's 34th minute goal. Gibbs-White found the Kiwi excellently for his ninth goal this term, and 150th in the English football league system. Just after this, Mengi thought that he'd smashed his side level. However, a handball in the build up cost him. Celebrations could finally resume late in the second half after the hosts fought tooth and nail. Substitute Berry notched on 89' for his first Premier League goal, latching on to a Burke header down from a Barkley corner. It set up a tense finale, yet the seven minutes of added time found the two teams tied. Going into the international break, Luton remain in the bottom three with Forest perched narrowly above them. Thanks for joining us for this enjoyable battle at the bottom of the table, goodbye!

We're having added time in added time! Barkley battles well and wins a free-kick on the right. He lofts it to the back post, Morris is there but it's high and straight to Sels! That must be the last chapter of the game...

YATES! Wow he caught that too well, if anything. As the ball drops, the midfielder fizzes it just wide of the right-post. That was a real let off for the Hatters.

Bizarre moment here as two experienced pros collide. Townsend and Barkley run into each other, and it leads to a late Forest corner on the right as Town throw bodies in to block.
