Analysis: Luton Town 1-1 Liverpool

Steve Sutcliffe, BBC Sport

Rob Edwards was left thinking of what might have been as his team came within a whisker of a famous Premier League win over Liverpool.

But there will also be a sense of satisfaction, that his side, cobbled together with a fraction of the budget enjoyed by Jurgen Klopp is showing signs of finding their feet after a tough reintroduction to English football’s top flight.

The Hatters covered more ground than their opponents but also displayed the tactical discipline to largely restrict Liverpool to efforts from distance.

Instead of just soaking up pressure they also impressively attempted to counter with pace at every opportunity.

Chiedozie Ogbene, the Republic of Ireland international signed on a free transfer from Rotherham in the summer, gave England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold a difficult time.

Ross Barkley another to arrive without a fee also excelled in midfield giving plenty of reason for optimism when Luton travel to Old Trafford to face an out-of-sorts Manchester United next week.
