Wigan Athletic vs Luton Town LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction
Wigan 1-2 Luton: Elijah Adebayo hammered home a 97th-minute winner to send the Hatters through
Elijah Adebayo scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Luton Town advanced to round four of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory at Wigan Athletic.
Extra-time was on the cards after Cauley Woodrow quickly cancelled out Thelo Aasgaard’s second-half opener but Adebayo pounced from close range at the death.
Within a minute of the second-half restart, Luton half-cleared a Wigan throw-in, allowing Aasgaard - who scored a last-minute stunner to win the league game at Kenilworth Road in September - to volley into the top corner from 18 yards. However, the response from Luton was excellent, and Woodrow equalised at the second attempt, after Ben Amos had done well to parry away his first effort.
But there was to be one final twist, with the ball being played in from the Luton left and Adebayo firing home from close range to the delight of the travelling fans behind the goal.
