It set the stage for fan favourite Morris to be the hero, tucking home from Woodrow’s centre to claim a potentially pivotal win.

Bournemouth shook the woodwork twice in the opening 45 minutes, first doing so when Barkley’s foul on Ryan Christie enabled Tavernier to rattle the crossbar with his left-footed free-kick.

The winger then fired wide after cutting in from the right, before Justin Kluivert joined him in striking the goalframe. He dragged a low effort across the box but could only watch as it bounced off the base of the left post.

Thomas Kaminski was forced into a great stop in the 25th minute, slapping away a right-sided corner that had been deflected goalwards by the unwitting Daiki Hashioka.

Luton started the second half with far more intent as Morris forced two fine stops from Neto, but it was Bournemouth who took the lead in the 52nd minute, Tavernier taking in Kluivert’s pass before drilling into the bottom-left corner.

Alfie Doughty was on the end of a sweet Luton passing move in the 66th minute, but rolled his effort tamely at Neto. Clark spared the wingback’s blushes seven minutes later, swivelling on a loose ball to find the bottom-right corner.

It set the stage for fan favourite Morris to be the hero, tucking home from Woodrow’s centre to claim a potentially pivotal win.

Morris’ dramatic winner now means that Luton have scored 17 goals in the last 15 minutes of the second half.

Only Liverpool, with 26 goals, have scored more in the Premier League this season. Bournemouth, meanwhile, have let a huge chance to further their push for European qualification in Andoni Iraola’s debut season slip through their grasp.
