Town striker felt there some 'questionable' decisions during his 100th appearance for the Hatters at Sunderland

Luton striker Elijah Adebayo described it as an ‘honour’ to reach 100 appearances for the Hatters at Sunderland on Saturday, a match he felt was littered with a number of ‘questionable’ decisions.

With the visitors leading 1-0, the Town forward was dragged to the ground inside the area by home substitute Lynden Gooch, only to see referee Scott Oldham, on his first Championship encounter, somehow whistle for a free kick against him.

To make matters worse, 10 minutes later, the official was awarding a penalty, but this time in favour of the Black Cats after Amad Diallo clearly dived under pressure from Amari’i Bell, the Manchester United youngster getting up to hammer home the spot-kick.

It meant that spoils were eventually shared at the Stadium of Light, as Adebayo, who was signed from Walsall in February 2021 and has scored 31 goals for the Hatters in that time, tweeted: “An honour to reach this milestone with this club!

"Boys gave everything and deserved so much more, some questionable decisions, I won’t say much more, we go again after the break!”
