In a gripping encounter at Kenilworth Road, Luton Town staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Bournemouth 2-1 and take a significant step towards English Premier League safety.
The visitors had dominated the first half, with James Tavernier and Justin Kluivert hitting the woodwork. However, Luton regrouped during the interval and emerged a transformed side, with Jordan Clark equalising after Tavernier had opened the scoring for Bournemouth.
The match appeared destined for a draw, but Carlton Morris had other plans. In the 90th minute, the striker arrived at the far post to turn home Cauley Woodrow’s cross, sparking joyous scenes among the home supporters and dealing a blow to Bournemouth’s own survival aspirations.
The victory ends Luton’s 10-match winless run in the league and provides a timely boost to their hopes of avoiding relegation. Manager Rob Edwards will be delighted with his team’s resilience and determination, which were on full display in the dramatic finale.
As the season enters its crucial final stages, Luton’s hard-fought victory could prove pivotal in their battle to secure their top-flight status for the coming campaign.
