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

VAR is checking for a penalty for Luton. The referee has delayed the restart and it's being looked at. Colwill and Adebayo were wrestling at the back post with both players going to the ground. After a short delay, the referee waves play on. NO PENALTY!

Luton have a free-kick on the right-hand side and Barkley looks to deliver, but it's headed behind for a corner. Doughty comes over to take and he whips it towards the far post. There's a scramble in the box but the ball falls to Brown who strikes it, but it's deflected behind for another corner.

Edwards will be disappointed with how his side have conceded twice, considering their performance so far. However, they've been sloppy at the back and haven't shown enough threat in the final third, so there's no doubt Chelsea are good value for their lead. The Hatters now have a mountain to climb.

GOOOAAAAALLL!! 2-0 CHELSEA!!

The Blues beat the press of Luton and Palmer is found in space in the middle of the pitch by Colwill. The attacking midfielder shifts the ball out wide to Noni Madueke. The tricky winger tries to get it onto his stronger foot, but he shifts it onto his right and fires a strike which creeps in at the near post.

It's a superb finish from Madueke, who scores his second goal in as many games.

Assist Cole Jermaine Palmer

Although Luton have grown into the game, they do have Kaminski to thank that it's only 1-0. Chelsea have had five shots so far with all of them being on target, but the Hatters' goalkeeper has been solid between the sticks and couldn't do anything about Palmer's excellent strike into the far corner.

It's been a fairly even game so far, with Luton seeing plenty of the ball since going behind. The Hatters have managed 49.8 per cent of the possession since the game got under way and they've been the side controlling the tempo since Chelsea opened the scoring through Palmer earlier in the half.

Luton will now have a chance from a corner after Brown burst down the left-hand side. His cross deflected behind for a corner after Gallagher had made an effort to stop the delivery. The Chelsea midfielder is now down injured holding his leg and the medical team are on the pitch.

Yellow Card Jacob Samuel Brown

Luton have another opportunity from a free-kick after Gusto upended Brown on the left-hand side. Doughty will look to deliver into the box once again. He whips it towards the back post, but Broja is there to header away. The Hatters regain possession, but they can't quite find a breakthrough.
