Pandemonium at Kenilworth Road as Baptiste wins it for Luton in the 90th minute
Wherever he goes from now on, then if Town stay up on the final game of the season, midfielder Shandon Baptiste won’t ever have to buy a drink in Bedfordshire again.
Neither will Sky Blues defender Luis Binks for that matter, who became the 2024-25 version of Fankaty Dabo for his efforts in ensuring the Hatters’ climbed out of the bottom three this afternoon. With both sides having gone down to 10 men, Coventry on 12 minutes and Town midway through the second period, and the clock about to tick into 90, it looked like Town would be heading to West Bromwich Albion next weekend with their future out of their hands once more.
However, and I pity those who don’t like football, that all changed in the blink of an eye. A long ball was pumped into the box, Sky Blues keeper Bradley Collins, who, bar his timewasting antics, had been excellent, came charging off his line, Stuart Moore style. He only managed in colliding with his own defender Liam Kitching, who went down looking for a foul, as the ball dropped to Baptiste some 30 yards from goal.
