Luton forward Carlton Morris scored his ninth goal of the season against Bournemouth
Report By Timothy Abraham, BBC Sport.
Carlton Morris' dramatic late winner boosted Luton's Premier League survival hopes as they came from behind to beat Bournemouth.
Marcus Tavernier gave Bournemouth the lead early in the second half with a crisp shot from just outside the corner of the penalty area.
But Jordan Clark restored parity with a clinical 73rd-minute strike from inside the box.
The Hatters ended a run of 10 games without a league win in dramatic fashion when Morris guided the ball home from Cauley Woodrow's cross in the 90th minute.
Luton remain in the drop zone, but only behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, who are away to Tottenham on Sunday, on goal difference.

Luton manager Rob Edwards has been speaking to BBC Sport following the comeback win:
"We spoke before the game about how important it was. You can guarantee effort, try to be organised and carry out a game plan, but you can’t guarantee a win.
"The character we showed, we found the result when it was really important to do so.
"I thought the second-half performance was really good. There was a belief there. The substitutes made an impact. I am really pleased.
"I feel we have had one and a half really difficult games against Bournemouth - the Tom [Lockyer] situation the first time and then we were 3-0 up and lost 4-3.
It is a nice feeling to turn that around and grind that win."
On his plans for tonight: "I will probably start losing sleep about Manchester City and trying to think about how to stop them."
