But Luton quickly responded, with Elijah Adebayo equalizing the score with a well-taken goal, showing their determination to compete.
As the match progressed, both teams pushed for a breakthrough. Carlton Morris came close for Luton, while Everton’s defense faced relentless pressure, especially from the likes of Alfie Doughty delivering dangerous crosses.
