March 14, (THEWILL) – A remarkable English Premier League encounter on Wednesday night saw Bournemouth score four goals in the second half to complete an astonishing turnaround against Luton Town, earning a 4-3 victory at the Vitality Stadium. This result has major implications in the battle against relegation.
Luton had raced into a 3-0 lead by half-time, courtesy of goals from Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene, and Ross Barkley. However, Bournemouth refused to surrender, pulling a goal back through Dominic Solanke shortly after the restart. Illia Zabarnyi’s header and Antoine Semenyo’s fierce strike then drew them level within 20 breathtaking second-half minutes.
With the momentum firmly on their side, the Cherries completed an extraordinary comeback when Semenyo struck again in the 84th minute to make it 4-3. No Premier League team had overturned a 3-0 deficit to win since 2003/2004, highlighting the magnitude of Bournemouth’s achievement.
This devastating blow leaves Luton still in the relegation zone, having missed a golden opportunity to climb out of the bottom three. They must quickly regroup before hosting fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest on Saturday, in a potentially pivotal clash.
