Luton were so close to recording their first Premier League home win after Tahith Chong’s clinical finish set the hosts on course for victory.<\/p>\n
The former Man United winger came off the bench in the second-half and placed himself perfectly to finish a counter-attack initially led by Ross Barkley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Darwin Nunez\u00a0sought to continue his recent goalscoring form with a powerful early effort against Luton that rattled the crossbar. It likely would have been a goal if he had chosen placement over power.<\/p>\n
