Two late goals saw Luton Town take a point as they drew 2-2 with Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
A double by CJ Hamilton had given Blackpool a two goal lead, but Jordan Clark scored a goal back before Gideon Kodua scored a stoppage time penalty to equalise for Matt Bloomfield’s side in Lancashire.
The point means Luton draw a match for the first time this season, with the Hatters rising up to 7th as they played a match previously postponed due to international call-ups.
Luton had arrived chasing back-to-back victories after a weekend win over Doncaster at Kenilworth Road.
At Bloomfield Road, however, it was Blackpool who began on the front-foot and they took the lead after 9 minutes. One-time Hatter Josh Bowler played in Hamilton, whose shot crept beyond Josh Keeley to put the home side ahead.
Keeley made a solid save to keep out Ashley Fletcher, before Luton had an opportunity when Bailey Peacock-Farrell made a flying stop to keep out Lamine Fanne.
Late in the first half, Zack Nelson had a shot blocked at close-range by Olly Casey, with Millenic Alli missing the target with the rebound.
With 8 minutes of the second half played, it was Blackpool with the second goal of the game. Alli was dispossessed on the edge of the Blackpool box and the hosts began a forward charge. Jordan Brown lead it, with his pass releasing Hamilton to advance and then fire past Keeley for his second of the night.
Both sides created and spurned a variety of opportunities before one did find a way through in the 78th minute. It was Luton with the game’s third goal as they got back to 2-1, with substitute Clark lining up a shot from outside the box and seeing his effort find the back of the net via a deflection.
There would then be a further twist when Luton were awarded a penalty in the final minute of the 90. A foul by Casey on Kodua was penalised by the referee, and from 12 yards, West Ham loanee Kodua beat Peacock-Farrell to bring the Hatters back on level terms.
It saw the Hatters recover a point, with the team now hoping to make it 3 unbeaten when they visit Stevenage at the weekend.
