Luton Town 1

Luton Town has been relegated to the National League after a 1-1 draw with Forest Green Rovers.

Luton Town 1 is a football club in England. The team plays at Kenilworth Road and are currently members of the League One. Luton Town have won two trophies, the Football League Trophy and the FA Cup. They also reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1969–70, where they lost to eventual winners Ajax Amsterdam.

Kal Naismith scored his third goal of the season.

At Kenilworth Road, Kal Naismith’s penalty earned Luton Town a precious win over play-off opponents Nottingham Forest.

After a handball by Forest midfielder Jack Colback while attempting to stop a cross from James Bree at the right-hand edge of the box, Naismith scored from the penalty spot eight minutes before halftime.

Fulham will clinch promotion back to the Premier League if they win at relegation-threatened Derby later on Friday, thanks to the outcome.

Luton moved a point ahead of Forest after winning, despite playing the last 13 minutes with ten men when defender Sonny Bradley was sent off.

After fouling Sam Surridge, Hatters skipper Bradley was issued a second yellow card.

After deftly avoiding two tackles, Philip Zinckernagel nearly scored a wonderful late equaliser, but his shot hit the post.

Forest finished the game with ten men as on-loan Aston Villa forward Keinan Davis went out a few minutes before the final whistle, despite the visitors having used all three of their replacements.

Djed Spence had a goal disallowed for offside after running down the right and blasting past keeper James Shea early in the second half for the East Midlands, who had won their previous five Championship games in a 10-game undefeated league run.

Fred Onyadinma, on the other hand, touched the ball while attempting to keep it from reaching Spence, who was therefore onside.

Bradley’s ejection was also controversial, since Zinckernagel’s touch with the ball put Surridge in an offside position before he was hauled down.

Forest will also be disappointed with wasted opportunities to equalize, the finest of which went to Zinckernagel, who headed Brennan Johnson’s cross straight at Shea shortly after coming on as a replacement.

Steve Cooper, the manager of Nottingham Forest, told Radio Nottingham:

“The linesman made a big blunder by disallowing Djed Spence’s goal. Djed has been brought in by the left-back (Onyadinma). That has cost us money.

“I don’t believe a (refereeing) error of that magnitude should occur at this level.” It’s had a huge influence on the game. It was visible to everybody.

“However, we also squandered a slew of excellent opportunities.” In the second half, we had more than enough opportunities to get at least one point.

“We knew we had to play better in the second half, and we did.” We produced a slew of opportunities.

“There’s no denying that the better team lost, but that’s how things happen sometimes.”

“But, even if we didn’t deserve to lose, we were going to lose a game at some point. Now we must demonstrate that we are capable of handling such a situation.”
