AFC Bournemouth vs Luton Town LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Luton Town squandered a three-goal lead to lose 4-3 at Bournemouth as they blew their chance to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone.
It looked so good for Luton on an emotional night as first-half goals by Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene and Ross Barkley put them in complete control on the south coast.
Bournemouth were booed off at halftime but were stung into action immediately after the break when Dominic Solanke struck and they were level before the midway point of the second half thanks to goals by Illia Zabarnyi and Antoine Semenyo.
Luton were reeling and there was a sense of inevitability about Semenyo netting the winner in the 83rd minute.
The game was re-scheduled after the initial fixture was abandoned after 59 minutes in December when Luton captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch.
Lockyer was present on Wednesday and received a standing ovation before kickoff as he met the medics who saved his life.

Can Luton find anything at all here? If they don't, you do fear that maybe this would be too tough a psychological blow to recover from. But you can never rule out this Luton side...

Bournemouth win another corner and it's Cook who takes it from the left this time but it's a bit too deep and Solanke couldn't get himself in a position to make contact.

Oh a chance for Unal! It's lovely footwork from Solanke to lay the ball off to his strike partner but from the edge of the box it's straight at Kaminski. He'll feel he could have done better.
