Middlesbrough draw level at Luton but must improve in a vulnerable area: Half-Time verdict
The visitors made the perfect start in the seventh minute, taking the lead through Ashley Fletcher’s glancing header after an inviting cross from Marvin Johnson who has been a threat on the right.
Yet Boro weren’t able to capitalise, with Luton’s midfield diamond taking control of proceedings before a stunning strike from centre-back Sonny Bradley levelled the score.

Hide AdBoro have also looked vulnerable from set-plays and should have dealt much better with the visitor’s second goal, when defender Martin Craine nodded home a simple header from a corner.
Woodgate’s side restored parity in the 37th minute, though, when Britt Assombalonga’s low shot went straight through goalkeeper Simon Sluga. 2-2 at the break.
