EPL: Luton boss hails Adebayo after valuable away point

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has heaped praise on Elijah Adebayo after the forward’s stoppage-time equaliser earned the club a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

The London club trailed 2-0 until the 83rd minute.

Chiedozie Ogbene, who also has Nigerian roots, gave the visitors a late lifeline when he pulled a goal back in the 83rd minute.

Adebayo equalised for the visitors in the second minute of added time.

“It was a great goal. He’s got those moments. He came on against Burnley and got his goal and he’s done it again today,” Edwards told the club’s official website.

“He’s got these little moments of magic in him. The assist he got at Sheffield United, the assist at Wembley. He’s had big moments for us since we’ve been here.

“He was frustrated not to start the game as I would expect, but that’s what you’ve got to do when you come on. That’s what I want. He gives me a difficult decision to make next week.”
