Newcastle United vs Luton Town
Newcastle came from two goals down in the second half to draw 4-4 with Luton in a Premier League classic at St. James' Park. The Hatters twice came from behind before the break to level the score. Longstaff netted a brace, getting onto the end of Trippier's cutback to break the deadlock before reacting the quickest to a rebounded strike from Gordon to add his second. However, the Hatters were resilient. Osho headed in their first, with Barkley crashing in his strike from close range after Doughty's shot was pushed into his path. Luton then gained control after scoring twice to go 4-2 ahead. The referee pointed to the spot after a VAR check, with Burn pulling back Ogbene just inside the box. Morris rolled in the spot-kick to put the visitors in the lead before Adebayo added their fourth with a low strike into the bottom-left corner. However, they couldn't hold onto their lead. Trippier started the comeback with a goal, with Barnes netting their leveller with an accurate strike from the edge into the bottom-left corner. Next up, Newcastle travel to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with Luton hosting Sheffield United. That's all, goodbye.

CHANCE! What an opportunity for Luton to score the winner. Barkey makes the most of a loose pass from Schar. He has possession on the left and curls a right-footed cross over to Ogbene on the right side of the box. He attempts a first-time volley, but Dubravka makes a simple save under pressure.
