Luton held Fulham to a point at Kenilworth Road on Saturday after coming from a goal behind with a goal from top scorer Elijah Adebayo. Here are six spoonfuls of sugar we can take from holding the Championship leaders.

  1. A top performance but disappointment at the result is a positive

Fulham arrived at Kenilworth Road as the Championship winners elect on account of averaging two goals a game, having the deadliest striker the division, in Aleksander Mitrovic, and one of the most miserly defences.

Pessimists and realists alike might've been hard pressed to predict anything favourable for Luton. I hold my hands up to that too. I expected nothing, and got an impressive performance. And, if the referee hadn't bottled given a penalty for Joe Bryan's barge in the back of Fred Onyedinma late on then it could've been even better than a point.

Boss Nathan Jones said it was a clear penalty, while defender Reece Burke added: "From my view, I think if it's outside the box, it may be given. Because it's inside the box, it gives the referee and decision to make and maybe it wasn't the right one. I was far away from it and couldn't see much, but it did look like a foul."

So a point was the least Luton deserved, but Burke's reaction to restricting the output of such a talented and expensive side speaks volumes to the the evolution process that is taking place at Luton.

"We conceded from a set play and maybe should've done better than that. Overall, we had the better chances and I think we played well and maybe deserved a bit more," he said.

"As a defender, conceding from a set-piece is disappointing and we should be doing better with that. We're very disappointed with that. It's something we need to go away and look at to make sure it doesn't happen again. I think the reaction from us was very good.

"We are disappointed we didn't get a clean sheet. I think everyone, dealt well with what they had because they're a good team.

"After the goal, the gaffer changed the shape a bit and it worked well for us. From then, we were on the front foot. They did have a few spells but overall, we were right at it. We kept winning the ball quite high up and we were creating chances."

2. "Oh, ho, ho, he's magic, you know…."

Be honest; nobody expected Elijah Adebayo to be this good, this quick, did they?

He's the definition of a precocious talent and getting better all the time. For Manager Nathan Jones, he's already one of the best two number nines in the division, the other being Aleksander Mitrovic.

"He doesn't get paid as much as Mitrovic," said the Town boss, adding: "Pound for pound, there's not a striker like him in the Championship and that's what we're proud of. He's going to get better, he's not going to get any worse.

"That's a great thing for us and we will reap the benefit. And we won't let him rest on his laurels. The good thing about him is he's just a humble kid that wants to work hard. When you've got that, and talent and some genetic attributes, then he's some force."

The striker has not yet had a full calendar year as a Championship player and he's already mixing it with the boys of the goal-getting department.

His headed equaliser against Fulham – a tremendously under-appreciated skill against his former side – moved him into double figures for the season.

The 23-year-old is now one of only five forwards in that club, with Fulham's Mitrovic (22), Blackburn's Ben Brereton-Diaz (17), Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke (16) and Swansea's Joel Piroe (11).

This time last year, he was netting in a 2-1 League Two win for Walsall over Bolton, the seventh of ten goals in 28 bottom tier appearances. Now, in the Championship, he's bang on for a goal every other game, with ten goals in 20 outings.

To put it into context – and a caveat that Luton are now a better side than in their first to Championship campaigns – he is well within range of comfortably excelling beyond his striking predecessor, James Collins, who bagged 14 in 46 games in his debut second tier season, then 13 in 44 last term.

And, as an added bonus, Luton have never lost when Adebayo has scored.

3. Bree-sy does it

James Bree had the last laugh against Fulham and perhaps should've stolen all the glory (see the next talking point). To be fair, his first half deliveries had been disappointing at a stage when the visitors were dominating, so they felt even more wasteful. There were groans aplenty from the not quite 'Plan B' inducing Kenilworth Road crowd, as there often is particularly when corners that hit the first man. I hold my hands up, I even mentioned it on Twitter at half time, even if the frustrating was, at that stage, a statement of fact.

But you have to hand it to the right back, the best way to silence any critics is to deliver a ball of such quality that it is instrumental in earning Luton a point.

And you can't begrudge the former Aston Villa man for celebrating his assist for Elijah Adebayo's equaliser by pointing out his stellar contribution to a fan in the crowd that had apparently been giving him verbal abuse.

Boss Nathan Jones, who compared him to Jack Stacey, added: "James Bree has taken a load of stick, but I love that kid. He gets on it and when you have Premier League quality, and he's trying to put in that real perfect ball that we score from in the end.

"Sometimes he's going to shank one. He's going to put it in the stands and sometimes he's going to put it in the railway station, but we encourage him to do that so that when he gets that opportunity to put it in there for Elijah's goal, he does it. Sometimes you take the rough with the smooth."

More of the smooth stuff and Town really will have a dangerous player on their hands.

4. He's here, he's there, he's everywhere – Kal Naismith

Having opened up his own playbook at the flicks and tricks page, Kal Naismith capped off a fine afternoon when he set off on a late mazy run that should've ended as the assist of the season.

He was more alive to a loose ball than Aleksander Mitrovic, midway in the Town half and from there he teed up James Bree perfectly, having burst out of defence, slalomed effortlessly past Fulham's midfield and left Tim Ream on his backside before sliding a perfect ball into the right back's path.

Manager Nathan Jones said: "It would've been a fairytale if Bree could've just hit the bottom corner."

But nevertheless, it was a glorious sight, and not for the first time this term. Central defensive partner Reece Burke said: "I think we all know Kal's very good on the ball. He likes to express himself and he does that very well, especially in recent games. I'm pretty sure that one time this season he's going to go all the way and score. He's a good player, very good on the ball and he can make things happen."

He's already got a nickname and is fast becoming a cult hero for the Hatters, but that skilful run, among many personal highlights against Fulham, means that you can now expand that moniker to The Majestic Kaldini.

And if that sounds like a thoroughbred Grand National winner, then Luton are the prize-winning trainers because, signed as a winger/utility player, Naismith is now proving himself to be the most undroppable asset in Town's strong pool of centre backs.

Though Mitrovic scored (doing little else other than moaning like the clappers), Naismith helped keep the Serbian and Bobby De Cordova-Reid quiet. He has a fantastic talent for nicking the ball off the toe of attackers before they can even think what to do with it, to get Luton on the attack and bums are off seats.

Naismith has also got an array of weapons to unleash in Town's favour and all of them were on show here, from inch-perfect Hollywood balls, slick turns and classy runs. Quite how he didn't make the official Championship Team of the Week is a scandal. Sonny Bradley did though. Though the skipper also had a decent game, the next two Hatters really should've been in with a shout too.

5. Admiral is starting to find his feet

Having weathered, not so much a storm, but a monopoly of possession, in which Fulham took the lead, there were plenty of positive signs that Town had a way back into the game.

Admiral Muskwe played an important part in a final 15 minutes before the half time interval, the highlight of which was his powerful run and pile-driver which just fizzed the wrong side of the post.

Still with some final decision-making to hone, Muskwe, with his power and pace, is still beginning to show signs that he's another rough diamond ready to shine in the Hatters' player development conveyor belt – just like Elijah Adebayo.

"I thought Admiral Muskwe was a real threat again today and he's nowhere near what he can be. He hasn't gathered any pace or anything yet. He's had no rhythm, but we'll get that," said manager Nathan Jones.

6. Could Clark be the new Dewsbury-Hall?

Jordan Clark is now firmly back to the exemplary form he showed at the start of the season before his head was almost taken off in a horror collision with West Brom's Sam Johnstone.

With two goals in successive games before Fulham rolled into to town, the diminutive midfielder was at the heart of first helping to turn the tide midway in the first half, and then was the star turn in the second half, picking penetrating passes and putting his boot in bravely against far bigger units.

Luton were always going to miss Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall after his outstanding season on loan from Leicester City last term, but Clark could just have found his best position in the centre of the park – and it's one Boss Nathan Jones has long earmarked.

The Welshman said: "We had Jordan Clark in here and he just amazed me every time and he's just got better. We pulled him before the Watford game when we lost 1-0 early on and I said, 'I think you'll be a central midfield player.'

He said, 'I don't like playing there, I can't play there.' So, he'd have played centre midfield a lot before, but he's turning into a top Championship central midfield player. That's unbelievable.

"Again, when you look at their midfield, they've got Tom Cairney who's one of the best midfielders, Harry Wilson, who's a top international and played for Liverpool.

"We got him free from Accrington. I think he's had four contracts since he's been here because he just keeps getting better. That's what we are. It's wonderful and it's a great story at the minute."
