    Honours even.

    The play-off chasing hosts took an early lead through Elijah Adebayo's deflected effort but failed to build on it.

    Blackpool grew into the contest and scored a deserved leveller when Gary Madine scored from the penalty spot.

    The home side should have had a penalty of their own when Keshi Anderson took out Robert Snodgrass and then had the ball in the net in the final moments of time added on but the referee gave a foul in the build up.

    The Hatters are still in good shape to take a play-off spot but both Adebayo and skipper Sonny Bradley went off with injuries.

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    To compound matters Luton striker Elijah Adebayo hobbles off after picking up a knock.

    They'll end the game with 10 men.

    Blackpool striker Shayne Lavery is booked for dissent I think.

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Luton think they've won it but Admiral Muskwe's joy is short-lived as the assistant flags for a foul!

    Elijah Adebayo is adjudged to have bundled Richard Keogh off the ball in the build up but... I think that's harsh.

    Luton boss Nathan Jones is not, he is NOT, gonna be happy when he sees replays of that.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90+2 mins

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Blackpool striker Gary Madine is booked for an elbow on Peter Kioso.

    Not a tidy challenge at all.

    Four minutes of time added on.

    Time for a dramatic twist?

  6. Postpublished at 88 mins

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Kai Naismith passes the ball out of play on the halfway line under no pressure, much to the chagrin of the home supporters.

    Two minutes plus stoppage time to go.

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Luton fans urge their team forward and they respond.

    Allan Campbell and Peter Kioso both fail to make decent connections with shots before Robert Snodgrass delivers another great cross for Cameron Jerome but the former Stoke man can't make the most of it as he heads wide.

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Blackpool pushing for a second goal.

    Luton are getting towards stick or twist time.

    A draw from this would be fine but do they risk it and try and go for the win that would basically confirm their place in the play-offs?

    CJ Hamilton comes in off the left flank for the away side with some neat play and then smashes his shot out for a throw in. Unfortunate.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Final change of the day for Luton.

    Experienced striker Cameron Jerome is on in Harry Cornick's place.

    Heading into the final 10 minutes of this tightly-contested affair.

    Can either side find a winner?

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Blackpool go to their bench for the second time and Shayne Lavery comes on to join Gary Madine up top.

    Jake Beesley is the man to make way.

    Luton also turn to the bench for a second time and Henri Lansbury comes on for Dan Potts.

    Blackpool win a free-kick right on the edge of the area as Allan Campbell fouls Kenny Dougall.

    Keshi Anderson takes it on but sends his effort over the crossbar.

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Replays show the home side really should have had a penalty of their own after that Admiral Muskwe shot was saved a couple of minutes ago.

    Keshi Anderson cleaned Robert Snodgrass out as he looked to move in on the rebound.

    How pivotal could that prove to be?

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 69 mins

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Blackpool forward CJ Hamilton has his name taken for a dive. Maybe a little harsh.

    The away side make their first sub and bring on Josh Bowler for Charlie Kirk.

  15. Postpublished at 68mins

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Blackpool goalkeeper Chris Maxwell makes a good save to deny sub Admiral Muskwe after a long throw.

    What an introduction that would have been!

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Luton 1-1 Blackpool

    Luton take off injured skipper Sonny Bradley and bring on forward Admiral Muskwe.

    I did say it looked like Bradley had tweaked his hamstring towards the end of the first half an perhaps he has.

    Luton will really hope it's nothing serious.

    Blackpool fancy this now.

    Goalscorer Gary Madine takes on the bouncing ball on the edge of the area and his shot is straight down Harry Isted's throat in the home goal.

    Blackpool boss Neil Critchley, not to mention the travelling Tangerines fans, will be pleased with what he's seen from his side here.

    With nothing left to play for they could easily have crumbled after conceding that very early goal to Elijah Adebayo but they've stood up and been counted and probably deserve to be level in this.

    Righteo.

    What have Luton got now then?

    They really need to show more than they have so far this half if they're to come away with the win.

    Three points here will all-but secure the Hatters a spot in the Championship play-offs.

    Veteran striker Gary Madine drills his penalty low to Harry Isted's right.

    It's not right in the corner but it has enough on it to fly in.

    Game on!
