 Luton Town’s relegation to the Championship was sealed following a 4-2 defeat to Fulham. Despite a spirited fightback that saw them close the gap twice, Luton couldn’t overturn the result, with Harry Wilson’s long-range effort ultimately confirming their fate.

Luton Town faced an uphill battle for survival on the season’s final day, needing an improbable 12-goal swing to stay up. Their slim hopes were dashed when Adama Traore opened the scoring for Fulham just before halftime. Luton’s Carlton Morris quickly equalized from the penalty spot, but Fulham’s Raul Jimenez responded with a goal of his own, giving the visitors the lead at the break.

Jimenez doubled his tally with a header early in the second half, but Luton’s Alfie Doughty kept the home side’s hopes alive with a free-kick goal. However, Fulham cemented their win when Harry Wilson struck a powerful shot from distance, rounding off a well-orchestrated team move.

The match was a microcosm of Luton’s season: a commendable display of determination and skill, yet not sufficient to avoid the drop. Fulham dominated possession early on, but Luton’s resilience shone through, even as they fell short. The game’s intensity and Luton’s expected goals tally highlighted their valiant effort, but ultimately, Fulham’s efficiency in front of goal ensured their victory and Luton’s relegation.
