Whatever happens, it is going to be a season to savour for Luton supporters. A decade after their side kicked off their fourth season in a row in the depths of the National League, only a late Brighton onslaught after João Pedro’s contentious penalty broke the resolve of the Premier League new boys.
While Brighton fully deserved their victory in a week they were forced to deal with the distraction of Moisés Caicedo’s future, this was at no point an easy ride. Luton defended valiantly throughout and even looked like they might snatch something when Carlton Morris slotted home their first Premier League goal from the penalty spot with 10 minutes to play.
