Bermuda international Nahki Wells and his Luton Town teammates are just one win away from a Wembley final after a dramatic 2–1 victory over Plymouth Argyle in the Vertu Trophy quarter-finals.
In a tense encounter at Kenilworth Road, the tie appeared destined for penalties after Plymouth teenager Tegan Finn cancelled out Isaiah Jones’ early opener. However, with just one minute of normal time remaining, Wells proved the difference-maker.
Racing onto a long ball, the veteran striker was clipped in the area by Argyle defender Mathias Ross. Jordan Clark stepped up to drill the 89th-minute spot-kick down the middle, booking the Hatters a semi-final meeting with Northampton next Wednesday.
While Luton celebrated cup progression, another Bermudian was making headlines in the National League South. Kane Crichlow emerged as the hero for Chelmsford City, coming off the bench to snatch a sensational 96th-minute winner against Hemel Hempstead Town.
Under the lights at Melbourne Stadium, Crichlow latched onto a clever flick to slot home the winner, sending the home support into raptures and securing vital points for the Clarets’ play-off push.
