Luton Town failed to move out of the relegation zone after a dramatic score draw against Everton kept the Hatters in 18th.
The already-safe visitors took the lead with Dominic Calvert-Lewin's penalty in the 24th minute.
Calvert-Lewin coolly converted from 12-yards after Teden Mengi was penalised for dragging down Jarrad Branthwaite following an intervention from the video assistant referee.
Elijah Adebayo responded seven minutes later, latching onto a fine Sambi Albert Lokonga pass before slamming low past Jordan Pickford to bag his tenth goal of the season.
Both sides saw opportunities in the second half, with Luton's Thomas Kaminski saving well from Jack Harrison's deflected shot and then Calvert-Lewin's header, yet the stalemate was not broken.
Luton now look to winning the remaining two games against West Ham and Fulham, as well as results elsewhere, in order to stay up. Rob Edwards' side are level on 26 points with Nottingham Forest, yet have played a game less.

Story of the Game
Rob Edwards made two changes to the side that lost at Wolves last time out, as the returning threat of Elijah Adebayo as well as Fred Onyedinma started the game. Jordan Clark and Daiki Hashioka dropped to the bench.
As for Everton, Sean Dyche made just one change to the team that beat Brentford 1-0 six days prior at Goodison Park.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned after missing that match against the Bees through illness. Youssef Chermiti dropped to the bench, and joined both Seamus Coleman and Beto amongst the Everton substitutes with the pair shaking off injuries.
In an immediately boisterous Luton start, Tahith Chong proved to be the Hatters' energetic early catalyst. He looked to break the lines instantly, either driving confidently on the ball, or skipping off his markers' shoulders to get to through balls.
One of these tempted the Everton defence to swell around the Curacaoan while James Tarkowski left it for Jordan Pickford. Chong got a touch past the keeper and went to ground. Referee Tim Robinson said nothing doing, and was in penalty denial action once more just over ten minutes later.
This time up the other end, Dwight McNeil was the aggrieved party on 16' - flailing under the non-challenge of Reece Burke. The home crowd's response was nearly as loud as the boos for former Watford man Ashley Young, and McNeil faced some unpleasant words as he took a corner for the visitors on 22'. However, the midfielder would have the last laugh.
Following Teden Mengi's heroic blocking from James Garner's effort, he was soon at fault as Jarrad Branthwaite went to ground off the ball. After reviewing the VAR monitor, Tim Robinson pointed to the spot, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin stepped up. Powering the ball down the middle through stretched Kaminski legs, the forward marked his return from illness with his seventh Premier League goal this term and his second in as many games.
With the help of their trademark Kenilworth Road noise, the hosts sought a quick response, and found it with the game's other returning forward, Elijah Adebayo.
Adebayo had made his re-emergence the week prior against Wolves - and had been influential in the sole Luton goal. This time he went one better and provided immaculate 'big-man' play to notch his 10th goal of the season.
Sambi Lokonga lifted over an excellent ball from the left, and Adebayo beat Ashley Young in the air with ease to chest down and swivel a left-footed drive low past Pickford in the 31st minute.
With both Morris and Adebayo on ten, they became the first two players to score 10+ goals in a single top-flight season for the club since 1986-87 (Mike Newell 12, Brian Stein 12).
The first whistle of the second half signalled the beginning of a cagey spell. Bitty fouls and wasted set-pieces for both sides were the flavour of the week seemingly, with half-chances of note pinging over off the heads of Adebayo, and then Ross Barkley just after the hour-mark.
The next real event arrived in the 70th minute, as Kaminski was called in to the first of two eye-catching reflex stops.
His opposite number Pickford sent it long, and after Calvert-Lewin did well to hold it up, Jack Harrison struck a deflected effort goal-bound. The dipping volley flicked off Osho and looked destined for the top corner, yet Kaminski offered another superb stop for his ever-expanding highlight reel to claw it behind for a corner.
That delivery was one of many that the home side dealt with, yet another eight minutes later proved more testing as the Belgian stopper had to react smartly. McNeil did well to head the initial delivery back across goal, and it found Calvert-Lewin who rose above his marker to nod powerfully on goal. Kaminski leapt to the rescue and tipped it over and behind.
Luton threw everything at their Merseyside visitors in the final ten minutes, with Kaminski even joining a late set-piece attack, yet the deadlock just couldn't be broken.
82 minutes saw Barkley sting the hands of Pickford from range. Mengi and Cauley Woodrow also tried their luck from outside the box to no avail, and Everton survived a late barrage of corners to leave Bedfordshire with a point.
Luke Berry's audacious blocked bicycle kick in the 95th minute almost summed things up, and now Luton find themselves in an even trickier position as it all comes down to the final two games.
