Bournemouth Beat Luton 4-3 After Losing First Half 3-0
Bournemouth beat Luton Town 4-3 on Wednesday to become only the fifth team in Premier League history to win a game from 3-0 down.
First-half goals from Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene and Ross Barkley saw Luton storm into what appeared to be a commanding lead.
However, the Cherries hit back early in the second half when a sublime strike by Dominic Solanke made it 3-1.
Illia Zabarnyi then cut the deficit further before two goals from Antoine Semenyo completed an incredible turnaround.

Highlights: Bournemouth 4-3 Luton Town
Wednesday's fixture had originally been due to take place late last year.
Indeed, the match started on December 16 but it was abandoned midway through the second half after Luton captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the field.
Lockyer was in the crowd on Wednesday night.
Before kick-off he posed for a photograph with some of the members of medical staff that treated him in December.
"I got a little bit emotional," Lockyer told BBC Sport following the reunion.
"I am quite numb to the whole thing but being back here, I came into the tunnel area and saw the paramedics that saved my life.
"I recognized them straight away. What do you say in that situation other than 'thank you'? They are heroes and they saved my life."
