Wolves 2-1 Luton Town: Damaging defeat for Hatters in their fight for Premier League survival

Luton suffered a damaging defeat in their battle for survival with a 2-1 loss at Wolves that leaves them in a precarious spot with just three games to go.

Rob Edwards' team had a chance to leapfrog Nottingham Forest with a victory but fell behind on 39 minutes when Hee-Chan Hwang sent a low strike into the far corner. The goal came just 19 seconds after Luton striker Carlton Morris headed straight at Jose Sa up the other end in what was Luton's best chance of the half.

Wolves took control of the game following the goal and doubled their lead after the break when Toti Gomes produced a clinical diving header to finish off a short corner routine. Morris did make the game interesting with 10 minutes to go but Luton were toothless in the final third, creating just a total of 0.42 worth of expected goals as Wolves held on comfortably.

The result leaves Luton still in the drop zone, one point behind Nottingham Forest, who play Manchester City, live on Sky Sports on Super Sunday.
