Luton Town vs Newcastle United
BLOCKED!!! Luton are just not letting up in defence!! Isak scoops a ball in behind the defence for Longstaff, whose deflected effort drops for Wilson. His own shot on the turn is blocked, before Osho gets in the way of another shot from Longstaff to keep the Magpies at bay!
