When the final story of the 2023-24 Premier League season comes to be told, it is likely that Luton Town will feel nothing but regret about the night when they ran out of inspiration and time against opponents as negative and rudimentary as Sean Dyche’s Everton.
Of course, nobody inside Kenilworth Road could question Luton’s determination to fight until the end. There was a lovely equalising goal from Elijah Adebayo, whose strike cancelled out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s early penalty, and there was no shortage of endeavour. Tahith Chong, who never stopped running, was outstanding and Luton would come agonisingly close to snatching the win that would have moved them out of the bottom three before Nottingham Forest visit Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon, only for Luke Berry and Andros Townsend to spurn three inviting chances during six added minutes.
