Luton vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after late Digne winner for visitors
Follow all the action from Kenilworth Road
Aston Villa travel to Luton in their bid to remain in the hunt for the Champions League places, but Kenilworth Road can be a difficult place to travel.
Luton meanwhile face a battle to bridge the widening gap between themselves and Premier League safety, which was made more difficult when Everton’s points deduction was reduced to six points.
Ahead of the match, the Hatters were in 18th place, five points behind Nottingham Forest, with all three teams who came up last year currently occupying the bottom three places.
But Luton have won nine of their past 11 home games against Aston Villa, although this will be their first meeting at the ground since August 2016.
Aston Villa have scored more first-half goals than any other side in the Premier League this season with 27, but Luton have been difficult to beat at home.

Luton continue to press for a late winner, as Martinez is required to cut out another Doughty set-piece delivery inside his six-yard box. Whatever the outcome today, ex-Villa player Edwards will surely be proud of his team's resilience.

Ever the villain - as well as a Villan - Martinez draws boos for hanging on to the ball for longer than needed, as Aston Villa try to quell Luton's momentum. They've simply had no answer to the hosts' revival since half-time.

SAVE! An inspired Morris rises high above Cash to steer a header at goal, but it is directed straight at Martinez, who keeps it out! Villa stay level, but they are reeling now!
