Few sides added more to the Premier League than Luton Town

Relegation was a foregone conclusion for Luton (26 points - 18th place) ahead of Championship Sunday, and Rob Edwards’ side didn’t miss their chance to deliver one more goal fest for the road. For the 31st time in 38 games this season, the Hatters scored and conceded in a game — a PL record for the road as well.

It was a gift and a curse again in the finale, as Adama Troare opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, setting off a chain reaction of five goals in 12 minutes plus first-half stoppage time. Luton were level through Carlton Morris’s penalty kick early in stoppage, but Fulham were back ahead after Raul Jimenez scored just before the halftime whistle.

Jimenez struck again in the 49th minute, but Luton were within just a goal again in the 55th. And, as has often times been the case this season, they simply didn’t have the firepower to keep pace, as Harry Wilson added the fourth and final goal in the 68th minute.
