James Bree provided the assist for Elijah AdebayoвЂ™s equaliser and then made a point to celebrate in front of a fan whoвЂ™d been on his back. To put it into context вЂ“ and a caveat that Luton are now a better side than in their first to Championship campaigns вЂ“ he is well within range of comfortably excelling beyond his striking predecessor, James Collins, who bagged 14 in 46 games in his debut second tier season, then 13 in 44 last term.ДЄnd, as an added bonus, Luton have never lost when Adebayo has scored. This time last year, he was netting in a 2-1 League Two win for Walsall over Bolton, the seventh of ten goals in 28 bottom tier appearances.В Now, in the Championship, heвЂ™s bang on for a goal every other game, with ten goals in 20 outings. The 23-year-old is now one of only five forwards in that club, with FulhamвЂ™s Mitrovic (22), BlackburnвЂ™s Ben Brereton-Diaz (17), BournemouthвЂ™s Dominic Solanke (16) and SwanseaвЂ™s Joel Piroe (11). It was only going to end one way рџ‰ | #COYH /Kh91WcUom9- Luton Town FC December 12, 2021 His headed equaliser against Fulham вЂ“ a tremendously under-appreciated skill against his former side вЂ“ moved him into double figures for the season.

The striker has not yet had a full calendar year as a Championship player and heвЂ™s already mixing it with the boys of the goal-getting department. When youвЂ™ve got that, and talent and some genetic attributes, then heвЂ™s some force.вЂќ The good thing about him is heвЂ™s just a humble kid that wants to work hard. And we wonвЂ™t let him rest on his laurels. вЂњThatвЂ™s a great thing for us and we will reap the benefit. HeвЂ™s going to get better, heвЂ™s not going to get any worse. вЂњHe doesnвЂ™t get paid as much as Mitrovic,вЂќ said the Town boss, adding: вЂњPound for pound, thereвЂ™s not a striker like him in the Championship and thatвЂ™s what weвЂ™re proud of. For Manager Nathan Jones, heвЂ™s already one of the best two number nines in the division, the other being Aleksander Mitrovic. HeвЂ™s the definition of a precocious talent and getting better all the time. Photo by Liam SmithД«e honest nobody expected Elijah Adebayo to be this good, this quick, did they? We kept winning the ball quite high up and we were creating chances.вЂќ Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu jumps on goalscorer Elijah Adebayo. They did have a few spells but overall, we were right at it.

вЂњAfter the goal, the gaffer changed the shape a bit and it worked well for us. I think everyone, dealt well with what they had because theyвЂ™re a good team. вЂњWe are disappointed we didnвЂ™t get a clean sheet. I think the reaction from us was very good. ItвЂ™s something we need to go away and look at to make sure it doesnвЂ™t happen again.

вЂњAs a defender, conceding from a set-piece is disappointing and we should be doing better with that. Overall, we had the better chances and I think we played well and maybe deserved a bit more,вЂќ he said. вЂњWe conceded from a set play and maybe shouldвЂ™ve done better than that. So a point was the least Luton deserved, but BurkeвЂ™s reaction to restricting the output of such a talented and expensive side speaks volumes to the the evolution process that is taking place at Luton. I was far away from it and couldnвЂ™t see much, but it did look like a foul.вЂќ Because itвЂ™s inside the box, it gives the referee and decision to make and maybe it wasnвЂ™t the right one. And, if the referee hadnвЂ™t bottled given a penalty for Joe BryanвЂ™s barge in the back of Fred Onyedinma late on then it couldвЂ™ve been even better than a point.Д«oss Nathan Jones said it was a clear penalty, while defender Reece Burke added: вЂњFrom my view, I think if itвЂ™s outside the box, it may be given.
