Luton Town : Sunderland AFC

Luton Town 's match against Sunderland AFC was on the programme on Wednesday evening. Of course, the first full day in London was also used to see some sights. In the morning, they took an audio guide tour of St Paul's Cathedral. There they also climbed the dome and were able to enjoy a beautiful view over the city.

The afternoon was then spent playing a classic pub sport. In Shoreditch, they threw a few steel darts before travelling to Luton by train in the evening. The journey to the stadium was then made on foot. Like so many stadiums in England, the stadium was built in the middle of a housing estate. Kenilworth Road added to this, however, as one of the entrances leads directly through a block of flats.

Luton Town were sensationally promoted to the Premier League two years ago, but were immediately relegated again. In the Championship, however, things are currently more bad than good and they are in the lower region of the table. AFC Sunderland , on the other hand, are more concerned about one of the promotion places.

But paper form didn't seem to matter on this evening. Luton played a great first half and created numerous chances. But there was nothing more than an offside goal and so the game went into the half-time break goalless. It was the same picture in the second half. Luton had several high-calibre chances, but all of them were missed. And so it came as it had to come. A bit of slapstick from the defence gave Sunderland a surprise lead through Chris Rigg.

But Luton did not let themselves down and continued to produce good attacking moves. And this time they were rewarded with an equaliser through Elijah Adebayo in the 63rd minute. But the joy was short-lived. Just three minutes later, Romaine Mundle gave the visitors the lead again with a stroke of genius with a flick.

After that, the air was out of the Hatters' game, and although there was a recognisable effort, scoring chances were in short supply. Sunderland played the lead home dryly and settled in the upper region of the table.
