Luton’s Premier League relegation is all but confirmed. Defeat by West Ham this afternoon means that Rob Edwards’ team will finish in the bottom three of the Premier League, barring Nottingham Forest losing to Chelsea by a double-digit scoreline in the 5.30pm kick-off.
Inverness and Hamilton will meet for a place in the second tier after narrowly progressing to the Scottish Championship play-off final.
West Ham manager David Moyes said farewell to London Stadium while Luton was left almost certainly waving goodbye to the English Premier League after a 3-1 defeat on Saturday. Albert Sambi Lokonga looked set to spoil Moyes’ party and give Luton a chance of taking the survival fight to the final day when he headed the visitors into a sixth-minute lead.
Sean Longstaff’s eighth goal of the season ensured Newcastle’s home campaign in the English Premier League did not end with a defeat as Brighton emerged from the long trip north with a point from a 1-1 draw on Saturday. Longstaff canceled out Joel Veltman’s opener with a close-range finish in first-half stoppage time but the result dented the Magpies’ hopes of reeling in fifth-placed Tottenham in what remains of the season. It was no more than the visitors deserved on a day when Eddie Howe’s players struggled for the fluency that helped them win five of their previous seven league games.
