Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Sheffield United secure the three points with a 3-1 victory away to Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. The Blades opened the scoring in the first half after Archer had broke beyond the opposition defence, before slotting past Kaminski between the sticks. Shortly after, the referee headed to the VAR monitor and swiftly awarded Wilder's side the opportunity to double their lead as he pointed to the spot. McAtee calmly stepped up and rolled the ball into the corner, sending Sheffield United into the break at 2-0. After half-time, Edwards' men dominated proceedings with the Blades sitting deep, and they themselves were awarded the chance to score from the spot after Souza handled inside the penalty area. Morris sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to set up an exciting ending to the match. However, the Blades continued to counter-attack the home side and put the game to bed after Souza drilled a strike into the bottom corner to make it 3-1. Wilder's charges secure an important three points in their fight to stay up, while Luton remain outside the relegation zone in 17th place. That's all for today, goodbye!

FULL-TIME: LUTON TOWN 1-3 SHEFFIELD UNITED
Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Luton push forward once again and Barkley shifts it out wide to Ogbene. He delivers into the box and it's headed away, but only as far as Chong. He quickly gets it back into the box and it falls to Berry on the edge of the area. He strikes it down low with his left, but the sea of bodies in front of the Sheffield United goal get in the way.

Foderingham takes his time with a goal-kick as Sheffield United compose themselves for the final few minutes of the game. Luton regain possession but a loose pass finds Brewster just inside his own half. He spots Kaminski off his line and takes aim from inside the centre circle, but he can't direct it towards goal and the Hatters goalkeeper gathers comfortably.

Luton are throwing everything at it in added time, but the Blades are sitting deep inside their own box, with Brewster chasing loose balls in attack. Barkley has it now and he sends it out wide to Townsend. He stands up his marker, shifts it onto his stronger foot, and whips it into the penalty area, but Foderingham rushes off his line and catches the ball.

The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of nine minutes of added time at the end of the game.

Luton keep the ball well and are working it around the Sheffield United box. It comes to Barkley from outside of the penalty area and he whips a cross towards Morris, who has peeled off his marker, but he can't quite get his head to it and it goes behind. There is some activity on Edwards' bench and it looks as though there could be some substitutions for the Hatters.

Kenilworth Road is growing increasingly frustrated with the Hatters unable to create too many clear-cut opportunities. Doughty is the latest player to attempt to make something happen, but his cross flies behind for a goal-kick to Sheffield United. Foderingham is, understandably, in no rush to take this one.
