A pass out of defence is intercepted by Doughty, who knocks it forward into Newcastle's box. He gives chase and looks to take on Burn, but the left-back shields the ball well to earn a goal-kick for his side.

Brown and Trippier clash heads when contesting a high ball, leaving the Luton forward on the deck and receiving treatment. He's cleared to carry on though, and we're soon back underway as the final 20 or so minutes begin.

Doughty, who has switched to the right flank, whips a threatening cross into the middle for Adebayo to attack. The striker does so, but pressure from Botman results in a mis-timed jump, and a header that is sent well wide of the intended target.
