Gnapka's equaliser was his eighth league goal this season

Gateshead held on for a draw at Luton despite throwing away a two-goal lead and having captain Ben Clark sent off.

Kris Gate scored for the hosts when he arrowed in a long-range shot and a Martin Brittain cross took a wicked deflection off Jake Howells for 2-0.

Luton were not to be denied however, and first Danny Crow scored from a tight angle before Claude Gnapka poked in a Lloyd Owusu free-kick.

Clark was sent off for a second booking but Luton failed to take advantage.
