Adebayo’s Goal Not Enough To Give Luton Victory, Obafemi Also Scores

0

Luton Town of England striker, Elijah Adebayo was happy to hit home another goal in the English Championship, but was sad that it was not good enough to give his side victory against Blackpool, while Michael Obafemi also netted in Swansea City’s draw.

Adebayo and his pals appeared to be cruising to maximum points, but then ended up staying fifth on the log, after being held to a 1-1 draw by Blackpool at Kenilworth Road, where Gary Madine’s 55th-minute penalty cancelled out Adebayo’s early opener.

Megasportsarena.com reports that Sheffield United remain sixth in the lower division of football in England, following a 1-0 home win over Cardiff sealed by Iliman Ndiaye’s header.

Three points worse off in seventh are Millwall, who secured a 2-2 draw at Birmingham thanks to a 98th-minute penalty of their own, scored by Benik Afobe.

It was a second equaliser for the Lions, with the hosts netting through Juninho Bacuna and then a Lyle Taylor spot-kick after Oliver Burke had levelled.

Middlesbrough’s quest for the play-offs looks all but over after a 1-1 draw at Swansea extended their winless run to five games, as Riley McGree’s goal for Boro was quickly cancelled out by Obafemi.

Reading’s survival was confirmed despite suffering a 3-0 loss at Hull, for whom Keane Lewis-Potter scored twice either side of an Alfie Jones effort.

Relegated Derby County lost 3-1 at home to Bristol City. Andreas Weimann and Antoine Semenyo put the Robins two goals up, Craig Forsyth pulled a goal back for the Rams, and Timm Klose then wrapped up the away win.

Elsewhere, Jacob Brown notched the winner as Stoke beat QPR 1-0 at bet365 Stadium, and West Brom and Coventry drew 0-0 at The Hawthorns, with Albion denied victory in stoppage time when Ben Wilson saved Karlan Grant’s penalty.

At the other end of the table, Peterborough were relegated from the Championship following a 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest.

Sam Surridge netted the only goal just before half-time as third-bottom Posh joined Derby and Barnsley in dropping to League One, while Forest moved up to fourth and look virtually assured of a play-off place.

Second-placed Bournemouth claimed what could be a vital point in dramatic fashion as Dominic Solanke’s stoppage-time penalty earned them a 1-1 draw at home against already-promoted Fulham.

Aleksandar Mitrovic’s 41st goal of the season put the Cottagers – who knew a win would all but confirm them as champions – ahead in the 56th minute before Solanke replied with a spot-kick in the eighth minute of time added on.

Solanke’s effort also helped Bournemouth go two points clear of third-placed Huddersfield, over whom they have two games in hand.
