Fabio Tavares’ stoppage-time header earns draw for Burton at Luton

Fabio Tavares’ stoppage-time header earns draw for Burton at Luton

Burton heaped more pressure on Luton boss Jack Wilshere after Fabio Tavares’ stoppage-time header earned them a point in a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road.

The Hatters had taken the lead after 13 minutes when Joe Johnson delivered a defence-splitting pass that sent Nahki Wells through to beat Bradley Collins.

Burton went close when Tyrese Shade could not reach Kyran Lofthouse’s cross, although visiting keeper Collins was fortunate to stay on late in the first half as he charged out of his area and cleaned out Wells, referee Seb Stockbridge somehow awarding a free-kick against the Luton forward.

After the break, George Evans tried a speculative shot from 35 yards, while at the other end, Jordan Clark was off target from outside the box.

Home midfielder George Saville saw his snapshot go wide, as with five minutes left, Kain Adom lashed into the side-netting for Albion.

The Brewers did equalise in time added on, Tavares nodding in after Luton failed to clear their lines, as Town’s players were roundly booed off by the home supporters afterwards.
