Luton came out on top of their must-win Premier League clash with AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, Carlton Morris’s last minute goal sealing a 2-1 victory.
The hosts had fallen behind early in the second half when Marcus Tavernier scored, only to hit back through Jordan Clark’s first ever Premier League strike and then see the skipper win it at the death, turning home Cauley Woodrow’s terrific cross. To find out how the Hatters player rated on the afternoon, see below.
9. Tahith Chong: 7.5
Couldn't quite have the same impact as he has done in recent matches, Town not able to get the numbers in the box they needed, but did have two of Luton's best moments when he did well to spin and shoot over the top on his right foot. Also blazed another opportunity into the stands when the ball landed to him on the half volley just outside the area. Fed a clever pass through for Doughty to go close after the break and got through a good 80 minutes before making way for Woodrow as Edwards shuffled his pack. Photo: Liam Smith
10. Andros Townsend: 7.5
Saw an early cross dealt with unconvincingly by Neto, as he gave a tenacious display on the right hand side, showing some good determination to shrug off his man and pick out Chong for a decent opportunity. Gave Luton some width, but with the Hatters having a more cautious outlook before the break, lacked any real support to make things happen, Looked to jar his knee in the first half as he was left wincing in pain, but carried on and got through a good hour of hard work.

11. Carlton Morris: 8.5
Frustrating first half at times in which he was well shackled by the Cherries defence, as he came to life after the break and was a huge threat to the visitors from the word go. One shot comfortably stopped by Neto from a tight angle, he forced the Brazilian into a brilliant save moments later. Looked like it wasn't going to be his afternoon when another curling attempt hit the post, but his perseverance paid off, playing the ball wide and get into the box, with a delicious side-footed volley from Woodrow's cross to win it in the 90th minute. Emotion at the full time whistle showed just what it means for Town's skipper. Photo: Liam Smith
12. Luke Berry (SUB): 8
One of the cameos of the season as the moment he came on, he was brilliant, throwing himself quite literally into his task with gusto. Almost led to a goalscoring opportunity straight away and was part of the move that saw Doughty go close. Kept up with Clark to make a brilliant block tackle and set up his team-mate to make it 1-1. Took up some great positions in the box but just wasn't found, Onyedinma taking one cross off his head, but played a huge role in stoppage time, blocking clearances and winning free kicks late on.
