🗒️Match Events
- 1st Half Begins
13'| OFF THE BAR! Alexander-Arnold picks up possession out wide and spots Nunez, who has made a superb run in behind the Luton defence. The right-back arrows a delightful pass into the path of the Uruguay international, who brings it down before firing goalwards. However, much to Luton's relief, the ball comes off the top of the woodwork and flies over.
33'| BIG SAVE! A brilliant injection of pace from Gravenberch sees him reach the edge of the Luton box, drawing out the defenders and creating the space to feed Jota. The Portugal international pulls the trigger first time, firing towards the bottom corner, though Kaminski gets down to his right and paws it away.
44'| 🟨 Yellow Card for Marvelous Nakamba (Luton Town)
45'| Ref adds 2 minutes of injury time.
HT': Luton Town 0-0 Liverpool
- 2nd Half Begins
54'| 🟨 Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool) is shown the yellow card
61'| Substitution, Luton Town. Tahith Chong replaces Andros Townsend.
66'| Substitution, Liverpool. Cody Gakpo replaces Diogo Jota.
66'| Substitution, Liverpool. Harvey Elliott replaces Dominik Szoboszlai.
67'| Substitution, Liverpool. Kostas Tsimikas replaces Joe Gomez.
68'| BIG OPPORTUNITY! Elliott gets down the left before cutting back and floating a cross into the box. It ends up falling to Gakpo, but the ball is just behind the Netherlands international and his acrobatic shot flies wide of the target. He just could not quite get his feet sorted in time.
70'| Alexander-Arnold loops a cross towards the back post for Salah, whose goalwards header is so poor that it ends up falling for Nunez. It seems he cannot miss, but somehow the Uruguay international fires well over the crossbar. It is an incredible miss, but fortunately the flag goes up for offside to somewhat spare his blushes.
79'| Substitution, Luton Town. Jacob Brown replaces Chiedozie Ogbene.
80'|⚽Goal! Luton Town [1], Liverpool 0. Tahith Chong (Luton Town).
- GOAL!!! CHONG PUTS LUTON AHEAD!!! It comes from a Liverpool corner, which seems to deflect onto Barkley's arm. While the visitors appeal for a penalty, Edwards' men charge forward on the counter and Barkley lays it to his right for Kabore. The right-back keeps his composure to curl a cross into the path of Chong, and the substitute beats Alisson to the ball to poke home and spark wild celebrations from the home fans. There is a VAR check, and though Dijk's header does seem to come off Barkley's arm, the VAR decides to award the goal and Luton are 1-0 up thanks to Chong's first Premier League goal!
83'| Substitution, Liverpool. Luis Díaz replaces Ryan Gravenberch.
90'| Ref adds 8 mins injury time
90'+5'|⚽Goal! Luton Town 1, Liverpool [1]. Luis Díaz (Liverpool).
- GOAL!!! DIAZ EQUALISES FOR LIVERPOOL!!! INCREDIBLE!!! With all that is going on in his personal life, Diaz comes up big for his team at the crucial moment. Elliott floats a superb cross over to the back post for Diaz, who leaps high above Kabore to reach the ball before nodding over the goalkeeper and in to make it 1-1!
