In a crazy match, with substitutes and eight goals, without much caution in defense and openly attacking football, Newcastle and Luton achieved a draw. 4-4 is a prize and a lesser evil at the same time for both teams.
It also doesn’t bring the ‘magpies’ closer to the European zone and doesn’t help the visitors end relegation, where they were sunk before kick-off, after Everton’s draw against Tottenham opened the day ( 2- 2), and where he is now again within a point.
A non-stop game
Newcastle got the game back, but then victory was in Luton’s hands. The final reaction of the team Eddie Howe He was rewarded and at least it helped him avoid the defeat he saw so closely.
There was no break at St James’ Park because after seven minutes Sean Longstaff, with a pass from Kieran Trippier, Newcastle went ahead. He tied for 2nd minute Gabriel Osho for Luton after receiving the ball from Carlton Morris, but it took just two for the home team to regain the lead with the same from Longstaff.
From 2-2 to 2-4 in three minutes
The match reached half-time with a tie because Ross Barkley scored the second for the visitors in the 40th minute. Then, Luton sped up, looking victorious. Because lack of Dan Burn inside the area led to a penalty where Rob Edwards’ side took advantage when Carlton Morris converted (59′). The visiting team scored two goals in three minutes, scoring the fourth in the 62nd minute Elijah Adebayo.
Nothing was done as Newcastle reacted. Kieran Tripier closed the gap in the 67th minute and six minutes later Harvey Barneswith a low shot from the edge of the area, scored the fourth for the ‘magpies’, who secured the tie.
At 4-4 anything can happen
No one gave up and with twenty minutes remaining the goal went round at both ends. But there was no success and the match ended 4-4.
Newcastle, who regained victory last night against Aston Villa (1-3), after four consecutive defeats, is ten points ahead of the European zone. Luton emerged from relegation still threatening them. They are just one point ahead of Everton, second last.
