West Ham United vs Luton Town
It's all over at the London Stadium and it's joy for West Ham and heartbreak for Luton Town. The Hatters are all but relegated after defeat and a point or more for Nottingham Forest in the late kick-off will confirm Luton's relegation back to the Championship. A spirited second half performance saw the Hammers give departing manager David Moyes a final home game to remember. Rob Edwards’ side went into half-time 1-0 up thanks to a superb header from Arsenal loanee Albert Sambi Lokonga and for large parts seemed comfortable. However, a much-improved West Ham levelled thanks to James Ward-Prowse, with Tomas Soucek and 19-year-old academy graduate George Earthy also getting on the score sheet. Only a win was good enough for Luton, who sit in 18th place on 26 points. The result all but ends the Hatters' hopes of playing Premier League football next season. That concludes our commentary, we hope you’ve enjoyed it!
