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.

HOW ARE LUTON NOT BACK IN FRONT?! Doughty plays in the free-kick and Morris finds plenty of space but can't direct his header goalwards, it falls towards Barkley who, on the stretch, can't direct it goalwards. Bournemouth have done brilliantly this second half but that was a huge let off.

Another yellow, this time Smith with a cynical foul on Chong, who fell awkwardly into Zabarnyi and requires treatment.

Edwards is trying to bring a bit of composure back to Lution and looks to the subs bench where Ruddonk Mpanzu replaces Hashioka, who has struggled in this second half.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL! WE ARE LEVEL HERE AT THE VITALITY STADIUM! Christie launches a long punt towards Semenyo, who cuts in from the right and his low left-footed effort is drilled into the bottom-right corner! It's 3-3, an unbelievable turnaround from the Cherries!
