At the start of the match, both sides struggled to find a way out of midfield, but the South Korean forward eventually netted with the help of a deflection off defender Teden Mengi just 18 seconds after Carlton Morris was unable to convert Luton's best opportunity of the opening 45 minutes, heading straight at Jose Sa.

Premier League: Brentford thrash Luton

Luton Town 1 - 5 Brentford Yoane Wissa netted twice as Brentford sailed past Luton, easing their worries by surging 10 points ahead of the relegation danger. Wissa swiftly connected with Bryan Mbeumo 's pass, beautifully curling in the opening goal from the box's edge just 24 minutes into the match. Before the half-time whistle, the DR Congo striker seized another opportunity, reacting fastest to a loose ball following Luton's failure to clear Mbeumo's low cross. Ethan Pinnock, back in the starting lineup after a hiatus since February, nodded in a Sergio Reguilon corner in the 62nd minute, firmly placing Brentford in control. Premier League news and stories: 2023/2024  Luton appeared disheartened and short on ideas, highlighted when Keane Lewis-Potter found space at the far post to head in Mbeumo's cross two minutes later, followed by Kevin Schade wrapping up the visitor's scoring.

Premier League: Sheffield United shock Luton Town

Luton Town 1 - 3 Sheffield United Sheffield United clinched their first away win of the season in style, triumphing 3-1 over Luton. It was Cameron Archer’s moment of brilliance with a sensational solo goal, coupled with James McAtee’s successful penalty, that saw United take a commanding 2-0 lead into halftime. Despite Luton’s Carlton Morris narrowing the deficit with a penalty of his own, United remained resolute, securing the win with Vinicius Souza’s remarkable strike, marking his debut goal for the club.

Premier League: Potentially vital win for Luton Town

 Luton Town 2 - 1 Crystal Palace Luton manager Rob Edwards has expressed his desire for his players not to "throw a celebration" following Jacob Brown's late goal against Crystal Palace.  Brown's goal in the 81st minute secured Luton's first home triumph in the Premier League this season.  The game only came to life in the second half, with one of the few noteworthy moments in the initial period being Odsonne Edouard's disallowed goal due to the ball bouncing off Luton defender Tom Lockyer and onto the hand of the Palace striker. This narrow escape injected energy into Luton, and Teden Mengi capitalized on a loose ball in the box, breaking the deadlock with a poke-in after a corner flick-on. This was the first moment on what turned out to be an exciting 10 minutes.  What a way for @TedenMengi to mark his first goal in senior football. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/ghCYYe1Y5Z — Luton Town FC (@LutonTown) November 26, 2023 More Luton Town news from eurosuperfootb

Premier League; Chelsea ease to first win of the season

 Chelsea 3 - 0 Luton Town From a Chelsea perspective, the big team news before kick-off was the presence of Moises Caicedo in the starting line-up for his full debut. He replaced the injured Carney Chukwuemeka. As expected before the match, Chelsea dominated possession throughout the game. It didn’t take long for the Blues to find a way past the defence and force the first save. A loose ball followed a set-piece dropped toward Sterling but his fierce volley was well held by Thomas Kaminski. It wasn't long before Raheem Sterling gave Chelsea a deserved lead, weaving his way through the Hatters defence to score a fine solo goal. The Blues had to be patient before securing the emphatic scoreline that the home side's dominance deserved. This began with Sterling netting his second after half-time by turning in Malo Gusto's low cross. Jackson then scored Chelsea's third goal via a similar route, Sterling providing the ball for him to slide in. Ultimately, this proved to

Both sets of fans created an incredible atmosphere during the match They beat Coventry City on penalties to win the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

 Luton Town 2 - 0 Sunderland (Luton won 2-0 on aggregate) Luton booked their spot in the Championship play-off final after a fantastic 2-0 second-leg win saw them beat Sunderland 3-2 on aggregate.  You can watch the highlights in the video below. Match report Trailing 2-1 following the first game at the Stadium of Light, Luton turned their aerial threat into a reward as centre-backs Gabriel Osho and Tom Lockyer scored before the break. Roared on by a raucous home support inside their Kenilworth Road home, Luton should have made it three when keeper Anthony Patterson misdirected a clearance, and Jordan Clark then blazed wastefully over. <Click here for more Luton Town news> More heroics from Luton Town Luton Town are one win away from returning to the top flight of English football for the first time since 1992.

Queens Park Rangers climbed to fifth in the Championship with victory over Luton Town.  Chris Willock gave the home side the lead with a perfectly-weighted dink over the onrushing Simon Sluga after a fine lofted route-one pass from deep by Ilias Chair in an entertaining first-half. Charlie Austin buried his header past the Hatters' Croatian goalkeeper early in the second Ilias Chair might have made it easier for QPR but his rising drive soared over early on.  Highlights Watch the highlights of the match in the video below. One QPR fan asked an interesting question in the comments section: "Are we brave or good enough to stay in top 6?" Reaction QPR boss Mark Warburton told BBC Radio London: "They were two really important goals as well, and at important times as well. The first one it was nice to see was a direct ball, it was a quick release and the keeper made Chris' mind up for him really, but he executed it well. "We had that lead, we were a little bi
