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.

AFC Bournemouth vs Luton Town
Bournemouth have earned 10 points from their last four midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League games (W3 D1), as many as they had from their previous 17 such matches (W2 D4 L11).

Cheeky from Kaminski! He gets the ball played back to him and Solanke is in hot pursuit. The Luton goalkeeper shows great composure to just drag the ball past him and keep hold of possession.

More good work down the left sees Scott pick out Sinisterra. He manages to work the angle again from the left but it's a tame shot that Kaminski easily gathers.

Ouattara and Sinisterra have been excellent going forward but the issue for Bournemouth has been the other way on that flank. Ogbene had another opportunity to cross that came to nothing but it looks to be an area Luton are trying to exploit going forward.

Good defending from Burke! Sinisterra is starting to grow in stature and he runs at the Luton defender who gets a good foot in. Ouattara then drives one across the box that Solanke can't reach.

The Bournemouth supporters raised over £2,000 to pay for every coach that brought Luton supporters to this rearranged game tonight. Football really is just magnificent sometimes isn't it?
AFC Bournemouth vs Luton Town
A good spell here for Bournemouth. Sinisterra and Solanke interplay brilliantly and the former gets in behind to hit a low left-foot shot from a tight angle that Kaminski does well to deal with. Semenyo gathers the ball, drives into the area himself, but hits one high and wide of the right-hand post.
