Events

Match Events

0' And we are off! Blackburn Rovers FC vs Luton Town FC — let the football do the talking.
1' That looks like a foul for a card for Harry Pickering.
3' Luton Town FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 3.
8' Senegal international Makhtar Gueye has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
13' A quiet spell here at Ewood Park. Blackburn Rovers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
18' Luton Town FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
28' Amario Cozier-Duberry has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
32' Magnificent from Amario Cozier-Duberry! That is 6 goals in 420 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
37' Elijah Adebayo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
40' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Owen Beck makes it 2-0.
45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rob Edwards will be considering his options from the bench.
50' It looks like no one’s ball. Blackburn Rovers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
52' That is a card for Blackburn Rovers FC. Makhtar Gueye will be fuming at that decision.
57' Luton Town FC come into this ranked 16 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
60' The referee has no hesitation. Jacob Brown is booked for Luton Town FC — card on 60.
61' Poor challenge from Joe Rankin-Costello. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
62' The crowd applauds Jacob Brown as he leaves the pitch. Cauley Woodrow steps in for Luton Town FC.
67' Luton Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
72' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Daiki Hashioka suffering a number of foals already.
73' A moment of madness from Liam Walsh on 73 minutes earns him a card. Luton Town FC will be frustrated.
74' Ryan Hedges is ready to make an impact after coming on for Amario Cozier-Duberry at the 74 minute mark.
75' John Buckley is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yuki Ohashi at the 75 minute mark.
77' The whistle greets Daiki Hashioka as he departs to be replaced by Joseph Johnson.
82' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Blackburn Rovers FC and Luton Town FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
85' Victor Moses makes way for Zack Nelson at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from Luton Town FC.
86' The Luton Town FC bench stirs into life. Carlton Morris is withdrawn and Joe Taylor gets his opportunity.
89' Blackburn Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Harry Leonard is hanging Makhtar Gueye on the field on 89 minute.
Luton Town FC will have plenty to reflect on. Blackburn Rovers FC were simply the better side today.
