Match Report
The treble winners came to Kenilworth Road on a run of four league games without a win and were without striker Erling Haaland due to a bone injury - and Luton then threatened to pull off the shock of all top-flight shocks when Elijah Adebayo headed home on the stroke of half-time.
But City, who missed 10 first-half chances without top scorer Haaland, found their clinical edge after half-time as Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish struck twice in three second-half minutes to turn the game on its head.
And City held on to move themselves within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool, after their title hopes took a minor dent in recent weeks.
