After spending much of the second half trying to repel an aerial barrage from Luton Town, it seemed unlikely that Burnley would have anything left when their resistance broke in the 84th minute. What happened next was proof resilience is not only about crunching tackles and clearing headers.
Jacob Bruun Larsen showed that technique also matters. Before half-time the story was of Burnley outmanoeuvring Luton and going ahead with a lovely goal from Lyle Foster. Vincent Kompany was edging the tactical battle but Rob Edwards responded. Luton were hoping to go three unbeaten and were on course to stay clear of another of the promoted sides when Elijah Adebayo equalised.
