Luton Town vs Newcastle United

BALL IN THE NET!!! Newcastle think they're level, but are denied by the offside flag!! Gordon's inside ball for Almiron is clipped into the path of Isak, who steps beyond the last defender and finishes brilliantly from close range!! Replays show that he is leaning ahead of Bell though, and that's enough to rule the goal out for offside!

WIDE!!! Mengi sets off on a barnstorming run from centre-back and surges past several challenges before shooting from the edge of the box, but the final effort pales in comparison to the move itself as he skews it well wide of Dubravka's goal!

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

Trippier and Gordon both attempt throughballs into the Luton box, but both are cut out just seconds apart by Bell. He's really stepped up to lead his from the front side, the Luton skipper.

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

No side have scored more Premier League goals in the second half of games this season than Newcastle's whopping 23, while Luton have conceded a league-high share of their goals after half-time (24 of 32, equating to 75 per cent).

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

WIDE!!! A long ball from deep finds Trippier on the run down the right flank, who in turn links up with Gordon once more. The full-back's cross is an inviting one for the winger to hit, but Gordon can't get a clean connection on the ball and volleys it into the side netting!

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

WIDE!!! After winning a corner, Trippier plays a one-two with Gordon on the edge of the box before cutting the ball back in. Guimaraes arrives late to shoot first-time, but drills his shot wide of the target and behind!

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

Newcastle have won just one of their last 10 Premier League away games, that being an 8-0 demolition of newly promoted Sheffield United in September. They’ve lost their last three in a row on the road, last losing more consecutively during a run of five in December/January 2020-21.

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

OFF THE WOODWORK!!!! Luton strike the crossbar yet again!!! A glorious touch from Adebayo sees him loop the ball over Schar's head before playing in Brown, who takes on his marker and shoots. His rocket of a shot beats Dubravka all ends up, but cannons back off the crossbar and is cleared away from danger!

Luton Town vs Newcastle United

Luton have only been ahead at half-time twice so far this season, winning and losing one of those games each. They'll be hoping it's a repeat of the former here, but it's certainly not going to come easily, with Newcastle set to throw everything they've got at the Hatters.
