Rob Edwards hailed “magic” super-sub Elijah Adebayo after the striker’s stoppage-time equaliser saw Luton salvage an unlikely point at Nottingham Forest. Forest led 2-0 in the 83rd minute through Chris Wood’s second-half double, but Chiedozie Ogbene gave the Hatters a lifeline and Adebayo’s superb effort snatched them a point. The 25-year-old took Tom Lockyer’s long ball into the box on his chest and buried a low shot in the second minute of added time as Luton, promoted via the playoffs in May, registered just their fifth point from nine matches. The Luton manager, Edwards, said: “It was a great goal. He’s got those moments. He came on against Burnley and got his goal and he’s done it again today. “He’s got these little moments of magic in him. The assist he got at Sheffield United, the assist at Wembley.. “He was frustrated not to start the game, as I would expect, but that’s what you’ve got to do when you come on. That’s what I want. He gives me a difficult decision to make next week.” Forest forced the early pressure as Wood’s volley was held by Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski and Ibrahim Sangaré headed narrowly over. Luton responded through Ogbene’s low cross, which narrowly evaded teammates Carlton Morris and Brown. Morris fired a low shot wide as Luton made their intentions clear by committing men forward on the counter before another first-time effort from Wood deflected off Teden Mengi for a corner. Tahith Chong’s shot from outside the box was comfortably saved by Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner and Wood failed to get his header on target from Serge Aurier’s cross. Forest went close again on the stroke of half-time when Sangaré somehow missed the target from Morgan Gibbs-White’s low ball across the six-yard box. But the home side broke the deadlock three minutes into the second period. Anthony Elanga threaded a neat through ball into Wood’s path and the striker provided an emphatic left-footed finish. Wood should have made it 2-0 moments later when he headed Aurier’s excellent cross inches over. Wood appeared to have sealed the points for Steve Cooper’s side with a fine header from Elanga’s pinpoint, inswinging cross with 14 minutes remaining. But the Hatters refused to lie down. Their appeals for a penalty as Morris went down inside the box were dashed by VAR before Ogbene lashed home a volley from eight yards, which stood after another VAR check. Still the visitors were not finished. Tom Lockyer launched a long ball into Forest’s penalty area and Adebayo took it superbly on his chest before firing home to haul his side level. Edwards added: “I’m really proud of the players. The spirit, the fight and determination. We finish the game strongly. We will never give up, we will always keep fighting.” Nottingham Forest manager, Steve Cooper, could not hide his frustration after his side’s winless run was extended to five matches. “We dominated the game and we’re disappointed we weren’t leading by one or two goals at half-time. “We obviously got the early goal in the second half and then made it 2-0 and it all changes on a set-piece, which we defended terribly really. Of all Luton’s threats off set-plays, it was the worst delivery of the day and ends up in the back of our net and that’s where the momentum changes. “It’s a real pity because the way we played for however long it was before their first goal went in, it was a comfortable game for us.”
