Dominic Solanke scored his 15th Premier League goal of the season to make it 3-1 as Bournemouth began their comebackBournemouth denied Luton the chance to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone as they came from 3-0 down to win a seven-goal thriller at Vitality Stadium.
The Hatters were irresistible in the first half and were three ahead at half-time through goals from Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene and Ross Barkley.
But Bournemouth were much improved after the break, Dominic Solanke's brilliant goal sparking a comeback which was completed by Illia Zabarnyi's bundled finish and Antoine Semenyo's blistering double.
Luton had seemed destined for a huge win on an emotional night, with this game having been rearranged following the December fixture being abandoned when captain Tom Lockyer suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch.
But instead they remain winless in their past seven games, and three points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest - who they host in the Premier League on Saturday.
Bournemouth remain 13th following their first home win in 2024.
