Analysis: Bournemouth 4-3 Luton

Emma Smith, BBC Sport
BBC 5 Live pundit Paul Robinson described Luton as many people's second team in the Premier League this season, given the amount of goodwill towards the club.
Their amazing rise to the Premier League, their battle against the financial odds, their attacking play, and of course Tom Lockyer's situation are all major factors.
Yet good wishes can only carry a side so far - points are the only thing that matter. And that was shown at its starkest in this match.
Luton, buoyed by Lockyer taking the adulation on-pitch pre-match, were coasting in the first-half - but were blown away by a resurgent Bournemouth in the second.
Two stats show the duality of Luton - they have scored in each of their last 16 Premier League games, a club record run.
But, the Hatters remain one of just two teams – along with Sheffield United – yet to keep a clean sheet away from home in the Premier League this season.
