LUTON forward Cauley Woodrow has revealed that he broke his hand just minutes before scoring the winner against Everton on Saturday.
The Hatters clinched a 2-1 win over Sean Dyche’s side in dramatic style to keep their FA Cup hopes alive.
Luton took the lead just before half time through a Vitaliy Mykolenko own goal.
Jack Harrison equalised for the Toffees in the 55th minute, but Woodrow sealed the win with a last-gasp strike deep into added time.
The 29-year-old, who was introduced as a substitute during the second half, collided with Everton’s James Tarkowski just 10 minutes prior and suffered a broken hand as a result.
Woodrow revealed that he “felt a crack” when the defender fell on him.

Speaking to BBC Sport at full-time, the forward said: “James Tarkowski fell on me accidentally and I felt it crack so I was in a bit of shock for a while.”
He added: “It was a tough game and was like a basketball match at the end.
“I don’t really remember much about my goal. It just fell to me and I managed to tap it in.”
Woodrow had only managed to score once this season prior to Saturday’s game.

Discussing his impact off the bench after the match, Luton boss Rob Edwards said: “I’m really pleased for Cauley, he hasn’t been able to get too much game time and get a rhythm.
“He is a real gem of a lad and he will be a happy man tonight – although he will be in a bit of pain.”
