    GOAL - Bournemouth 1-0 Fulhampublished at 44 mins

    Justin Kluivert

    The hosts take the lead and it is a great run from Alex Scott at the heart of it.

    The England Under-20 midfielder, whose start to life at Bournemouth after his £25m move from Bristol City in the summer has been hampered by injury, produces a jinking run into the penalty area.

    He then slides a pass left to Justin Kluivert and he strikes at goal. Not the best goalkeeping from Bernd Leno, who will be disappointed to have let it go in, despite getting a hand to it.

    Scott picked up the ball near the halfway line, a step over saw him sprint past two Fulham players, then he took on another two players to get into the box before setting up the goal. Wonderful.

    I was expecting Bournemouth to be a lot more confident in feeding Dominic Solanke because he's in a rich vein of form.

    Andoni Iraola can’t wait to get them in at half time to tell them to get the ball to Solanke.

    It’s like they are tentative, they shouldn’t be.

    Just over five minutes to go until the break and Luton will be very happy with how things have been going. They have dominated possession and largely dealt with anything Sheffield United have thrown at them.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Fulham

    A problem for Bournemouth's Adam Smith, who lands on his shoulder following a committed challenge on Antonee Robinson.

    Smith's OK to carry on for the time being.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Fulham

    Nearly a lucky goal to get us going at Bournemouth. Cherries' Dango Ouattara, from a really tight angle, looks to send a cross in, but nearly embarrasses Bernd Leno at his near post. Luckily, Leno was alert to it and got down quickly to push it away for his first save of the afternoon.

    Sheffield United are pushing for that equaliser now as James McAtee cuts inside before bending an effort just wide of the far post.

    That gets a roar of encouragement from the home fans.

    Has there ever been a time when a commentator hasn't mentioned someone doing the draft excluder role?

    Someone is lying down now behind the Luton wall as Sheffield United have a free-kick right on the edge of the area, but Gustavo Hamer's strike is saved.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Fulham

    Bobby De Cordova-Reid's low cross is blocked by a sliding Bournemouth defender. De Cordova-Reid wants a handball but neither referee, either on the pitch or in the VAR headquarters, gets excited.

    At the other end, a truly brilliant lunging block from Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo diverts Justin Kluivert's shot over the bar.

    Then from the corner, Bernd Leno goes walkabout off his line, but Adarabioyo again defends it superbly, leaping and heading away under pressure from Dominic Solanke only a few yards from the goalline.

    This game is not one for the purists, it's not prettty, but Luton aren't making any apologies for that. They look the most composed out of the two teams.

    Both are going long, playing direct. Adebayo is trying to create chaos in the Sheffield United rearguard and McBurnie is doing the same to the Luton back line. A good game all the same.

    Still very much goalless on the south coast. Bournemouth still to register a shot on target. Poor so far.

    Alfie Doughty's goal ensures Luton lead away from home for only the second time in the Premier League. It's very quiet but for the visiting fans.

    As it stands, Sheffield United - who are at Manchester City on Saturday - are going to be seven points from safety at the bottom of the table.

    That mistake from Wes Foderingham is exactly what Chris Wilder doesn't need. Looking to build on their previous result away from home and they've gone a goal down to Luton early on.

    In all fairness thought Luton do look like they are going to score every time they go forward. They're looking so dangerous.

    Alfie Doughty gets in a good position to do just enough to prevent Oli McBurnie from getting his head to a cross.

    End-to-end stuff here.

    Here come Luton again looking for a second goal. They are having some joy down the right as now Andros Townsend speeds away from the full-back before sending the ball into the box, but Elijah Adebayo heads wide.

    Alfie Doughty goes through the keeper’s legs. I cannot believe he’s gone through the keeper’s legs.

    Wes Foderingham will be seething with himself.

    Doughty's goal in ice hockey terms was "through the five hole". Not good for Foderingham at all.

    There was a delay before Luton Town's travelling fans, who are at the other end of the ground, celebrated that goal. And there is total disbelief from Sheffield United fans in front of me as to how Wes Foderingham allowed that to slip under him. Home supporters are stunned.

    Antoine Semenyo looks to burst through for Bournemouth but his touch is heavy, knocking the ball well in front of him and that allows Calvin Bassey to sprint across and send the ball out of play with a lovely sliding challenge.

    Oh but that is a disastrous moment for Wes Foderingham!

    Alfie Doughty is allowed to wriggle around the outside of a defender on the edge of the box and he moves towards the goal before firing a low effort that goes between the Sheffield United goalkeeper's legs at the near post and in.

    Luton are looking sharper in attack now as Elijah Adebayo drives into the box, but Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham is off his line quickly to beat the striker to the ball.
