Luton Town 2-3 Chelsea Highlights: Chelsea beat Luton Town
FA Cup – Less than an hour after owner Roman Abramovich announced his decision to sell the Blues, they fell behind within 102 seconds against as Reece Burke planted a fantastic header into the far corner.
But it was an unlikely source who dragged them level after the hosts missed a good chance and then lost the ball cheaply in their own half, allowing Saúl Ñíguez to curl home with a sweet finish.
Shortly before half-time, the hosts retook the lead to keep their dream of an upset alive when Harry Cornick was sent racing through and he kept his cool to beat Kepa.

Again, Chelsea dug deep and with time ticking down, equalised through Timo Werner, who was picked up with a delightful ball over the top from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and he found the net for his first goal since January.
And the comeback was completed through Lukaku, with Werner turning provider to unselfishly roll across goal for his strike partner to tap home and end his long drought for the winner.
