Burnley looked like they were about to grab just their fourth win of the Premier League season against Luton Town at Turf Moor, but succumbed to a late equaliser that provoked some controversy. Carlton Morris rose highest to nod a cross home, but Burnley thought keeper James Trafford had been impeded when trying to contest the cross. Earlier Zeki Amdouni had given Vincent Kompany’s side the lead.
Carlton Morris scored a controversial equaliser in stoppage time to earn Luton a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor and deny Burnley a precious victory in the Premier League.
The substitute headed into an unguarded net, with Clarets goalkeeper James Trafford on the floor after colliding with Elijah Adebayo as he came for the cross, but the referee did not deem that Trafford had been impeded and a VAR review upheld that decision.
Zeki Amdouni had given Burnley a first-half lead against the run of play, applying a side-footed finish to a Wilson Odobert cut-back.
Burnley had the better of the chances thereafter but could not add to their advantage. A deflected Odobert shot was the closest they came, but Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kamiski reacted quickly to change direction and keep the ball out.
Luton struggled to fashion chances in the second half of a match which gave clues as to why both sides are in the relegation zone, but were able to make Burnley pay for some profligate finishing at the death.
Luton remain 18th, but now have 16 points and are level with Everton, but with a worse goal difference.
