With the game goalless, Ben Whiteman was given a straight red card for a tackle in the middle of midfield and the Hatters then took the lead through Carlton Morris.
In the final 10 minutes of the game Troy Parrott converted a penalty to give North End a vital home point and stop a streak of home defeats.

2. Freddie Woodman - 6
Made a couple of decent saves but didn't cover himself in glory for Luton's goal, seemed to lose track of where he was and got his footwork wrong. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
3. Jordan Storey - 6
A solid display from Storey if not a little reserved at times, used to get forward down the right where possible but now seems to be playing it safe. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
4. Greg Cunningham - 7
Seemed to be up against it with two tall forwards for Luton but managed the game well and covered round with good timing too. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
