Bournemouth 2-1 Luton Town: Cherries top of the Championship after win

Bournemouth beat Luton Town to move to the top of the Championship table.

First-half goals from Philip Billing and Dominic Solanke - both set up by Ryan Christie - put the Cherries in control.

An own goal by Lloyd Kelly midway through the second half gave Luton hope of stealing the hosts' thunder.

They were unable to find an equaliser, however, as the Cherries leapfrogged West Bromwich Albion to move top.

Bournemouth went ahead when a neat move culminated in Christie lifting the ball towards Billing, who volleyed home.

Solanke headed in Christie's left-wing cross on the half-hour mark to double the lead and take his goal tally for the campaign to seven.
