West Ham deal hammer blow to Luton's survival hopes with 3-1 win
A fine second half performance saw West Ham earn a 3-1 win against struggling Luton Town at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday, giving departing manager David Moyes a final home game to celebrate.
Luton went into half time 1-0 up thanks to a header from Arsenal loanee Albert Sambi Lokonga in the sixth minute and defended well throughout the first half.

But a much-improved West Ham equalised in the 54th minute thanks to James Ward-Prowse, while Czech international Tomas Soucek and 19-year old substitute George Earthy also got on the score sheet in the second half.
Only a win was good enough for Luton, who sit in 18th place on 26 points. The result all but ends Luton's hopes of playing Premier League football next season, and the club's relegation could be formalised as soon as Saturday evening, if 17th place Nottingham Forest pick up any points at home to Chelsea.
