Midfielder Stewart, 21, watched fellow Liverpool loanee Jack Dunn tee up local lad Zach Kotwica for the opener before revealing:
"We call Dunny the little rat. He gets everywhere and he's a real goal poacher. He's similar to Michael Owen in the way he plays. He's either 'little rat' or 'pocket rocket'.
Stewart, Dunn, 20, and defender Lloyd Jones, 19, have helped the Robins to five points from the last four games since being brought in by boss Paul Buckle on loan from the Premier League club.
And the Anfield outfit and one of their all time greats are keeping a close eye on the highly rated rookies. Stewart explained:
"We text and talk on the phone after games and a few times each week and get little pointers. Steve McManaman also called and told me he's there if I ever need advice which is great."
Striker Shaun Whalley, 27, grabbed the equaliser for the promotion chasing Hatters and said:
"We're still in the chasing pack. There's always been a winning mentality at the club and most of that is down to the gaffer. He's a real straight talker and a great motivator.
"We came looking for a win, but it was a fair result. We don't shirk away from a battle which is what we got."
Luton manager John Still has been linked with a transfer window move for two players including 33-year-old former England striker Andrew Johnson, but said:
"We’re hoping in the next day or two that we might find a way forward with one or both of them. They’ve got to be the right ones."
Buckle said:
"It's good to be disappointed not to have won against a team like Luton."
