Brentford v Luton LIVE: Premier League result as Bees hold off Hatters

Following a tepid first half, devoid of chances or inspiration, scoring three of four goals during the second sees Brentford return to winning ways at Luton Town's expense. The Bees totally dominated possession, and when they added a clinical edge shortly after the interval, that was enough to take them two goals clear heading into the final 15 minutes. Luton's late strike threatened to set up a grandstand finale, but when Baptiste finished decisively from close range, all three points were wrapped up for Thomas Frank's side, who now move back into the top half of the Premier League table. Still waiting for their first clean sheet of the season, the Hatters host in-form Arsenal on Tuesday, while Brentford travel south to Brighton one day later. That's all from West London today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: BRENTFORD 3-1 LUTON TOWN

MISS! After Janelt's cutback is struck goalward by Onyeka then bounces out to Lewis-Potter, at the second attempt, the substitute striker prods a shot over the crossbar from close range! He was under some pressure, but that's a decent chance spurned.

Sensibly, Brentford have used the break in play for Maupay's withdrawal to kill Luton's momentum. The home side are now retaining possession in midfield, aiming to run down the clock.

In the second of at least eight additional minutes indicated by the officials, Maupay departs, having scored a crucial goal earlier on. Replacing him, Peart-Harris is given a rare taste of Premier League football.

CLOSE! Barkley's free-kick from near the left byline is headed away by the first defender, then a ball in from Townsend on the right is flicked home by Chong's deft header. However, the flag is instantly raised for offside - no goal! It was a tight call, but the right one.

Brentford can't clear the ball now, as Adebayo's nod-down at the back post causes a moment of concern in the Bees' box. For the first time today, Luton are totally on top - but is it too late?

Luton force successive corners, proving they've not given up on salvaging something from this game. Set-pieces certainly seem their best route back in.

Again running out of steam late on, Luton Town have now conceded seven goals in the last 15 minutes of the second half this season - only Sheffield United (12) have shipped more in the Premier League. It's also the sixth time a substitute has scored against them.
