Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Luton have yet another corner, their fifth of the game so far. Doughty delivers and Burke wins the initial header, sending it towards goal. Foderingham comes out to collect but he can't quite get there, and the referee blows for a foul on the goalkeeper. Souza is down after colliding with Foderingham, but he's back on his feet shortly after and play resumes with a free-kick to Sheffield United.

Doughty finds Adebayo inside the Sheffield United penalty area, and he gets the ball out of his feet before looking to curl a strike towards the top corner, but it's deflected behind for a corner. Doughty will take and he floats it towards the back post. Osho comes flying in, but he commits a foul and the Blades are awarded a free-kick.

Luton might feel that they're slightly unfortunate to be 2-0 down after a few moments of madness, but the Blades have looked a threat on the counter-attack in today's game. Wilder's men have been clinical when it mattered and are now sitting deep as they hope to hold onto their lead before the half-time whistle.

Hold on, the referee is heading to the VAR monitor. He's checking to see if there could be a penalty for the Blades. Souza won a header from a corner, but it appeared to hit the hand of Burke. He's given it! Penalty to Sheffield United!

Almost an instant reply from Luton! Ogbene receives the ball just outside the penalty area and he has Adebayo to his right. He plays it into the path of the striker inside the box, and he attempts a first-time shot across goal, but it whistles past the far post and goes behind for a goal-kick to Sheffield United.

What a chance! Sheffield United fill the box with a throw-in and Holgate launches it into the box. The ball is headed away but nodded back into the penalty area and Archer has found himself in space just outside the six-yard box. He only has the goalkeeper to beat, but he somehow puts it wide! He will be disappointed not to have hit the target from there!
