With the game delicately balanced at 1-1, both sides were looking for an unlikely hero to avoid a replay.
I’d imagine, as far as the Hatters support were concerned, very few thought that hero would be Cauley Woodrow.
Cauley has struggled for consistent game time since he re-signed for us back in 2022 and many of us, including me, thought that Cauley may be leaving Kenilworth Road this January transfer window.
But, with four days to go, it remains to be seen how that situation unfolds.
However, for the moment Cauley remains the toast of the support as we await to learn our fate in the 5th round draw of the FA Cup.
Following the dramatic late win, it was blatantly obvious the media would swamp Cauley to get his views on his dramatic winner,
Talking to the BBC, this is what Cauley had to say about his magic moment:
“To be fair I don’t really remember much. It just fell to me and I managed to tap it in.
“It was a tough game and at the end it was like a basketball match.
“I’m really pleased with myself because I have been waiting a long time for a goal, and also for the travelling fans – they were unbelievable today.”
And so you should be Cauley, but can anyone recall when he last scored such an important goal for the Hatters?
The strike against Everton will never be considered a contender for ‘goal of the season’ but if Cauley is to leave this transfer window, could he have delivered a better parting gift?

Luton Town – The Thoughts Of Honest Rob – Everton (a) FA Cup
Won’t change whatever decision has been made I don’t think. I like the lad but don’t think he’s he’s Premier or even Championship standard. That said, nice to see him score and I wish him well either at the Kenny or elsewhere.
Hi lads , ye to be fair he hasn’t had much of chance , but agree he probably isn’t Prem standard, but a fully fit and in form Cauley would cut it in the championship I think , I don’t get the impression he’s leaving though , I think Rob rates him , as he does Berry . I think we need 3 players in though , possibly 4 , we need another right back , centre back / left sided centre back or left back if Giles goes , a Cdm ( Sheaf would be nice , but won’t happen ) as Marv sounds like he’s out for quite a while , and another striker different to what we have , this all means players leaving , I think 2 possibly max coming in , one being Hashioka and don’t know who else , and in what position , any ideas who ?
Seems to be hard working and keeps his head down, no stories of frustration over game time and for me, one of those squad players you need to keep quality in depth, chuffed for him scoring again and is a few now in very little game time.
