Luton managed to secure one point following a thrilling 1-1 match against Nottingham Forest at the Kenilworth Road stadium.
In the 34th minute, Forest's Chris Wood scored the first goal by shooting the ball into the net with a volley after Morgan Gibbs-White passed the ball towards him. The ball flew past Luton's goalkeeper, Thomas Kaminski.
At first, it seemed like Forest was going to win the game and be six points ahead of the Premier League's bottom teams. However, Luke Berry scored an equalizer goal for Luton during the final moments of the game, tying the score.
Ross Barkley took a corner and Reece Burke headed the ball towards the goal area. In the chaos that followed, Berry stretched his leg out and pushed the ball into the net, securing his first Premier League goal.
In the closing moments of the game, Ryan Yates had a golden opportunity to put Forest back in front. However, his shot missed the target and drifted out wide.
Nuno Espirito Santo's team is currently only three points ahead of Luton Town, who are in 18th place.
If they had maintained their small advantage, they could have advanced to the 15th position. However, they are still highly likely to be relegated by the end of the season.
During the relegation fight in the afternoon, Burnley clinched their initial Premier League win in the year 2024 by prevailing over Brentford with a score of 2-1.
The match kicked off brilliantly for the hosts at Turf Moor thanks to Jacob Bruun Larsen's quick penalty kick. Sadly for Brentford, the penalty also led to Sergio Reguilon receiving a red card.
The defender on the left side of the field, who is currently loaned from Tottenham Hotspur, was deemed to have committed a foul against Burnley's Vitinho inside the penalty area and was immediately shown a red card.
In the second half, David Datro Fofana scored another goal, redeeming himself after missing a clear opportunity to score just before half-time.
The player who is on loan from Chelsea sprinted towards Wilson Odobert's pass and coolly scored the goal by passing the ball past Brentford's goalkeeper, Arijanet Muric, who was playing in the Premier League for the first time.
In the 83rd minute, Kristoffer Ajer's header gave Brentford a chance to get back into the game.
When Shandon Baptiste sent in a high pass, the visiting team appeared to score a goal that would have tied the game. However, Ivan Toney was deemed to have committed a foul against the goalkeeper, Muric, so the goal did not count.
Burnley's position in the Premier League table remains unchanged as they are still in the 19th spot. Their distance from safety has increased to eight points. Brentford, on the other hand, is placed 15th and has only a four-point advantage over the relegation zone.
