Luton Town have captured the hearts of football fans since getting promoted to the Premier League. The passionate football they play has been praised by pundits. They’ve taken points from Liverpool, Newcastle and Everton. They’ll want Manchester United next.
Have Luton ever beaten Manchester United?
The most recent game where these two sides faced each other was in November at Old Trafford. Manchester United won 1-0 through a second half goal by Victor Lindelof.
The last time Luton beat Manchester United was in March of 1987. This marked only the fourth time Luton had pulled a win over United in all 40 games that have played against each other.
Goals from Mick Harford and Brian Stein put Luton 2-0 up at half-time. It got a bit nervy in the end due to a late goal from Bryan Robson for United, but Luton managed to hold on to a famous three points.
If Luton beat Manchester United on Sunday, not only will it be the fifth time to have ever happened but the first time in 37 years and the first in 11 meetings since the win in 1987.
They were underdogs in 1987 and they’ll been the underdogs for the game on Super Sunday. Can they pull off a David and Goliath?
