Result: Bristol City 3-0 Luton Town
When: 29.12.19
Competition: Sky Bet Championship
Marley Watkins headed in from a Niclas Eliasson cross in an electric start to this Sky Bet Championship fixture, before Famara Diédhiou converted a penalty just minutes before half-time.
Luton had been completely shut out while the Robins dictated every element of play and Andreas Weimann’s near-post finish saw him tuck home City’s third goal of the afternoon.
🎥 TAKE A LOOK BACK
👀 ONE TO WATCH
ELIJAH ADEBAYO
With 11 goals in 24 appearances already this season Adebayo is catching the eye in his first full season at Luton since joining the Championship in February 2021. He scored on his first start for the club in a 1-1 draw against Millwall later that month.
The 23-year-old netted five times at the back end of last season and has already doubled his tally this season, with still half of the season left to play. One of his five goals last season came against the Robins as Luton came from back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Kenilworth Road on Matchday 44.
The striker joined Fulham at Under-9 level and was with the Li;ywhites until 2019, but failed to make an appearance for the first team as he was loaned out on several occasions. He had loan spells at Cheltenham Town, Swindon Town and Stevenage before being released by Fulham at the end of the 2018-19 season. Following his release from Fulham the forward signed for Walsall in June 2019, scoring 18 times in 55 appearances.
Adebayo hasn't scored a SkyBet Championship goal since the turn of the New Year, therefore he will be keen to return to his goalscoring form in the league on Tuesday night.
