STOKE City were left kicking themselves after letting a lead slip in injury time to draw with relegation rivals Luton Town.

Potters on the wrong side of late drama once again...

Here are the talking points from a deflated bet365 Stadium.

THE CURSE OF INJURY-TIME GOALS

What a difference to the league table those late, late goals for Coventry, Millwall and Luton have made in the last few weeks, even if there was controversy over the first two - offside for Coventry and a dodgy penalty for Millwall. Three goals in the wrong net after 90 minutes had been played.

This time they were pushed back and back or got deeper and deeper after taking the lead in a game of very few clear chances. The territory and amount of corners conceded and crosses let into the box seemed to be asking for trouble, even if Viktor Johansson only really had to make one save before he was beaten.

Stoke can either curse and feel sorry for themselves or they can grab the last five games with their fate still in their own hands and make sure they do whatever it takes to make sure they stay on the right side of that dotted line. It is so tight. Every point and every second counts.
