League Two - Luton wipe out points deficit

Eurosport - Tue, 13 Jan 23:41:00 2009

Luton finally wiped out their 30-point deficit but had to settle for a point after throwing away a two-goal lead in the 2-2 draw at Chester.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 League Two Luton Town - 0

Mick Harford's men went ahead in the 22nd minute after Kevin Gallen found Chris Martin inside the box, and the striker produced a superb turn to outwit two defenders before finishing left-footed.

Within five minutes the Hatters doubled their advantage as Lewis Emanuel hit a stunning free-kick from the edge of the box to give goalkeeper John Danby no chance.

Chester were given a lifeline when Michael Spillane was adjudged to have brought down Kevin Ellison inside the box in the 36th minute.

Ryan Lowe stepped up and made no mistake - firing the ball high into the net and sending Logan the wrong way for his 13th goal of the season.

And the comeback was complete in the 51st minute as Ellison bundled the ball in from close range after Kevin Robert's initial header from a corner had been stopped on the goal line.
