Blackburn 1 – 1 Luton
Blackburn kept themselves in the hunt to reach the Championship play-offs as Hayden Carter’s dramatic late header earned a 1-1 draw with Luton on Bank Holiday Monday.
Tom Lockyer’s second-half header had looked to have earned the Hatters – who later hit the crossbar through captain Sonny Bradley – all three points at Ewood Park and inflicted irreparable damage on the hosts’ top-six charge.
However, Carter headed home an 86th-minute equaliser to reinvigorate what had been rapidly decreasing hope from the home fans.
Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side stay ninth in the table, level on points with sixth-placed Sunderland and seventh-placed West Brom and two points behind sixth-placed Millwall, who they face at The Den on the final day next Monday.
