The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, had his prediction for the Premier League match between Luton and Liverpool proved wrong.

In a widely circulated video the day before the game, the spiritual leader had forecasted that Liverpool would easily win at Kenilworth Road.

He said:

“Liverpool will beat Luton very well. Liverpool will beat them with more than two goals.”

However, Liverpool struggled and required a last-minute goal to secure a 1-1 draw with Luton. Despite having 23 attempts at goal, Liverpool failed to convert many of their chances.

Darwin Nunez, in particular, had a night to forget, highlighted by a glaring miss on an open goal.

It seemed like Luton might punish Liverpool for their wastefulness when former Manchester United youth player Tahith Chong scored a goal during a swift counter-attack with only 10 minutes left.

However, Liverpool managed to salvage a draw when Luis Diaz, who had been subbed in, headed home a cross from Harvey Elliott in the fifth minute of injury time, proving the prediction incorrect.
