    Fulham 4-0 Luton

    Luton badly need to find a goal or two in the time remaining. As things stand, they now have an inferior goal difference to seventh-placed Middlesbrough.

    It's also music to the ears of Millwall, who are among the clubs hoping to make a late bid.

    The Hatters lost 5-0 at home to Birmingham City back in August and they want to avoid a repeat of that at all costs.

    The record is equalled! Goal number 42 for Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    The Serbia international bulldozes into the box and collects a pass, brushes aside to regather after his shot is blocked and then coolly rolls the ball past Matt Ingram.

    Fulham are tonking Luton now. It's all about goal difference for the Hatters.

    Beautiful goal that surely wraps up the title for Fulham.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic pings a low ball into Harry Wilson on the edge of the box and he turns it round the corner for the onrushing Fabio Carvalho to stroke beyond Matt Ingram for the third.

    Game over?

    Fulham 2-0 Luton

    Dan Potts was lucky to escape a booking before and gets one with a late challenge.

    The Luton defender then pushes Tim Robinson slightly after the decision, which he is lucky to avoid further punishment for.

    Nathan Jones can't afford to have players suspended with their injury list.

    From Neil: "Only 3 or 4 of this Luton team would be in our first choice XI. Injury crisis at just the wrong time but for a club with one of the smallest Champ budgets, it’s amazing playoffs are still in our hands. It’s why Nathan Jones was Champ manager of the year, not Silva #bbcfootball, external"

    Bournemouth head coach Scott Parker and Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper have called for continuity from their sides before Tuesday's meeting between the Championship promotion rivals.

    With two games to go the Cherries are second, three points clear of Forest - who will move above them with victory.

    However, a win for Parker's side would see them back in the Premier League.

    HT: Fulham 2-0 Luton

    Full credit to Luton, who started well and Danny Hylton was proving a real menace.

    Fulham though took full control, taking control in midfield and then adding key goals through Tom Cairney and Kenny Tete.

    By half-time, there was only one team really pushing, with the Hatters quelled. They need to reset, regroup and cut out the indiscipline. Four bookings so far.

    Luton will have their say no doubt.

    The crowd are on it, Fulham are on it. Luton have no answer.

    Cries of shoot everytime the Cottagers get the ball in any range...

    Three minutes of added time.

    Tom Lockyer take a bow.

    The Luton defender slides in to hook the ball off the line as Harry Wilson goes round Matt Ingram and sends it toward goal but Fulham denied.

    Superb denial. Aleksandar Mitrovic rolled a perfect pass into him for the chance too.

    Wham.

    What a hit. Fulham double the lead and it's a thunderous rocket, low and fizzed with venom by Kenny Tete on his left foot.

    Matt Ingram tries to save it but it's a scorcher. It's raucous and wild at the Cottage now.

    Those scarves are twirling, and poor old Luton - beset by injuries - are down on their luck now.
