Luton v Chelsea LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League as Hatters comeback falls just short

Madueke and Gusto work the ball well down the right side once again and it eventually comes to Gallagher. The Chelsea midfielder attempts to deliver into the box, but his cross is deflected behind for a corner. It's played short and Palmer is picked out just outside the area, but his shot from range doesn't find the intended target and it's out for a goal-kick.

Madueke finds the overlapping run of Gusto and he bursts down the right-hand side, carrying the ball into the box. He edges closer to the goal unmarked and looks to pull it back to one of his team-mates, but he doesn't make the right pass and Luton are able to counter-attack through Chong.

Palmer gets the second half under way for Chelsea at Kenilworth Road!

Brown is also taken off after being booked in the first half, with Ogbene the player to enter the fray in his place.

Edwards makes a change at the break with Chong coming off the bench, replacing Kabore.

Luton are yet to test Petrovic between the sticks for Chelsea. The Hatters have created 0.31 expected goals (xG), but none of their shots have been on target so far. Kaminski has been busy for Edwards' side in goal, with the away team managing six shots on target in the first half, with two of them finding the back of the net. It wouldn't be a surprise to see an early change from Luton in the second half with the home team chasing the game. Could we see Morris, Chong, or Ogbene soon?

Chelsea go into the break with a 2-0 lead over Luton at Kenilworth Road. The Blues opened the scoring through Palmer who pounced inside the box to capitalise on a mistake from Kabore, firing into the back of the net. The Hatters reacted well to going a goal behind and were looking dangerous in the Chelsea half, but they struggled to create many chances. Pochettino's side then doubled their lead as Palmer found Madueke inside the box, and the young winger rifled a shot into the roof of the net beyond Kaminski. Edwards' men have a mountain to climb in the second half.

HALF-TIME: LUTON TOWN 0-2 CHELSEA

Barkley times his run well beyond the Chelsea defence and receives the ball on the left, just inside the penalty area. He works it onto his left foot and drills a cross low and hard into the danger zone, but it rebounds off a defender and the ball is cleared.

The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of five minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
