Woodrow left frustrated not to have rescued Luton a point in stoppage time
Town striker sees late effort saved by Robins keeper
Luton attacker Cauley Woodrow was left disappointed he hadn’t been able to earn the Hatters a stoppage time point during their 1-0 defeat at Bristol City yesterday.
The 30-year-old had been brought on with 20 minutes remaining at Ashton Gate, with the visitors trailing 1-0 against a Robins side he made 15 appearances for during the 2017-18 campaign having joined on a season-long loan from Fulham. He didn’t have any real sights of goal during his cameo, but then with seconds of the six added minutes remaining, saw fellow sub Joe Taylor burst away from a challenge on half-way and speed down the right flank.
His cross into the box was touched on by Carlton Morris, falling perfectly for the unmarked Woodrow who was arriving just inside the box, but with a decent chunk of the goal to aim at, put his effort far too close to keeper Max O’Leary who was able to save fairly comfortably. With Luton’s hopes of a first away point since September 14 dashed, on his last-gasp opportunity, Woodrow said: “To be honest I wanted to go the other side but there were a few bodies in the way. I think that’s probably what helped the keeper as well. He knew I could go the only way that I went, so it was a good save. On another day it goes in and we come away with a draw, but that’s football.”
