Harvey Barnes earns a point for Newcastle United

Sean Longstaff of Newcastle scored twice in the first half at St. James' Park as the game was set to finish at 2-2, but goals from Elijah Adebayo and Carlton Morris gave Luton a 4-2 lead. Kieran Trippier pulled one back with a remarkable attempt, and Harvey Barnes, a replacement, equalized in the 73rd. After a lengthy injury, Barnes celebrated his comeback with a crucial goal that kept Newcastle in the game. Luton is in 16th place with 33 points, while Newcastle is in ninth.
