Elijah Adebayo earns Luton valuable point against Everton with superb equaliser

Luton kept alive their hopes of Premier League survival as Elijah Adebayo’s excellent first-half equaliser rescued a 1-1 draw against Everton at Kenilworth Road.

Having not started a game since February Luton’s top scorer announced his return from injury in spectacular fashion, collecting a high ball on his chest and bamboozling Ashley Young before dispatching a finish beyond Jordan Pickford to earn a valuable point.

It moved Rob Edwards’ side level with 17th-place Nottingham Forest ahead of their relegation rivals’ meeting with Sheffield United on Saturday, although with only one victory now in their last 14 league matches the Hatters face an uphill battle to remain in the top flight.

Luton move onto 26 points but remain in the bottom three after a draw at home with Everton
