Key events
76 mins: Vitinho drives inside from the right and pings a left-footed shot from 20 yards but it flies past the post.
74 mins: I think that is pretty much game over. I imagine we will see a few quick subs from Luton. Edwards is having a natter with his staff to come up with a plan B.
GOAL! Luton 1-3 Burnley (O’Shea, 72)
Pires is the man to take the corners from the left, too. He finds O’Shea on the edge of the six-yard box, allowing the defender to steer the ball into the far corner.
71 mins: The resulting free-kick comes to nothing because O’Shea is offside. All a bit pointless. This is where Parker earns his money, trying to get Burnley through the next 20 mins.
70 mins: Zaroury is blocked off by Ogbene on the edge of the box.
68 mins: It is another Burnley corner on the right. Pires swings it in once more but it does not meet the first man. He gets another chance which is a lot better but Menghi heads away. Do not worry, the Brazilian then decides to shoot but Kaminski holds on.
66 mins: Koleosho is heading off and Zaroury is coming on.
65 mins: It is all Luton at the moment and Burnley are camped in their final third. The pressure is relieved when Morris misscontrols a throw-in, giving away a goal kick.
Koleosho is down with cramp. It is his first competitive match in months, to be fair.
63 mins: Cullen is on his knees protesting to the referee after being penalised for a foul on Morris. The midfielder wins the ball but the referee thinks is is worthy of a yellow. No idea why.
61 mins: Brownhill lumps a free-kick into the box but Kaminski claims to remove the threat. I wonder … is it time for big Wout?
59 mins: Nelson is next up to have a shot but it flicks off Cullen, making it easier for Trafford to save.
Pires is irked by Walters shielding the ball out for a goal kick and gets booked.
57 mins: Kenilworth Road is alive and Burnley are on the back foot. They need to see out the next five minutes.
GOAL! Luton 1-2 Burnley (Chong, 55)
Burnley could have been out of sight but Luton are back in it after Doughty heads into the path of Chong to steer home from close range.
55 mins: A well-worked free-kick gives Vitinho a chance from three yards but the Brazilian hits the post on the stretch.
53 mins: Lucas Pires swings in a free-kick from the right. It almost defeats everyone but Ogbene volleys behind. The Brazilian is given another chance from the corner which Kaminski palms away but Burnley recycle the ball, resulting in O’Shea pinging a shot towards the corner which the Belgian saves in stunning fashion.
PS Nelson was booked for trying to pull back Koleosho.
51 mins: Koleosho drives Burnley forward, making a mockery of the Luton midfield before laying it off to Odobert who sees his shot blocked.
49 mins: Morris receives the ball in the box, cuts inside and shoots but his effort is blocked. It is a very promising start to the half for Luton.
47 mins: Luton get the ball up the pitch quickly from kick-off. I think they know changing it up is necessary. Trafford comes to try and claim a cross but he misses it and Adebayo gets his head to the ball, only to see it bounce off the bar into the goalkeeper’s arms.
A timely reminder that Trafford is pretty mediocre when it comes to dealing with crosses.
Second half
Here we go again!
It must be nice for Burnley fans to be back in the Championship, enjoying a nice full season of winning games and going up. Their promotion is already sealed for me.
Half-time reading:
Half time: Luton 0-2 Burnley
Scott Parker is loving life back in the Championship, it seems far more fun than being pummelled 9-0 in the Premier League. His new charges are looking lively and efficient. Luton on the other hand have been naive and little errors have cost them.
45 mins: Trafford is booked for timewasting. I am not sure why he needs to, to be honest.
Two minutes added.
43 mins: Doughty is standing over a free-kick once more. It is just on the edge of the box but to the right after Koleosho upends Morris. Doughty decides a shot is the best course of action but pings the ball against the knees of the wall.
41 mins: Burnley are playing some neat football at times but then have the ability to change things up and be more direct. Parker will be Bayern manager in no time.
39 mins: Will we see some changes at half-time from Edwards? Townsend seems an obvious choice to add experience to the XI.
GOAL! Luton 0-2 Burnley (Odobert, 37)
That really is too easy. A ball over the top is chased down by Odobert who gets away from all the defenders before calmly slotting home.
36 mins: Luton are looking a bit flat and Kenilworth Road is feeling similar at the moment.
34 mins: Baptiste does well to intercept a pass inside the box but then loses possession and dives in on Foster to give away a free-kick in a dangerous area around 30 yards from goal but it comes to nothing.
32 mins: I did think this last season so this is not based on half an hour of football but Esteve is an excellent centre-back. I suspect he will be back in the Premier League next season whether it’s with Burnley or another team.
