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.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! THE COMEBACK IS ON!! Smith's cross is nodded behind by Kabore, the corner comes in and it causes absolute panic. The first header from Unal is brilliantly saved but Zabarnyi nods back goalwards, Doughty thinks he's cleared off the line but goal-line technology showed he has a first Bournemouth goal. It's Luton 3-2, this is a classic!

There's a huge round of applause here for Lockyer to mark the moment in the first game where he collapsed on the pitch. Although the applause is as much for the medical staff too. Great scenes once again.

Tavernier has made a big difference to Bournemouth. He played a really dangerous ball across the face of goal on a couple of occasions. Bournemouth will want him on the ball as much as possible here.

This is a crucial period in the game because Luton have lost a little bit of control. They have to try and ride out the wave. From Bournemouth's perspective they need to strike while the iron is hot. This one feels not quite as done as it did when Barkley smashed home before the break.

GOOOOOOO-no! Barkley takes a deep free-kick that is diverted behind by Hashioka. Doughty takes the resulting corner, Morris leaps high to head a bullet header towards the bottom-right corner to draw a magnificent save by Neto. Chong puts the rebound in but he was quickly flagged for offside. What. A. Game.

OH THAT'S GREEDY! Semenyo does so well driving towards goal, he cuts back onto his left foot but fires over the top from the edge of the area. There were three Bournemouth players he could have picked out there too. The home side have the bit between their teeth now.

There was a hint of offside against Mepham but a quick VAR check shows he was onside. It's a crucial moment that.
