BOURNEMOUTH staged one of the greatest comebacks in Premier League history to wreck Tom Lockyer's emotional night.
The Cherries, 3-0 down at half-time to a rampant Luton side, scored four second-half goals on the night Hatters star Lockyer returned to the ground where he clinically 'died' earlier in the season.
After suffering a cardiac arrest at the Vitality Stadium which Lockyer said left him "technically dead" for almost three minutes, the Luton captain walked back out on to the pitch ahead of kick-off to shake hands with the medical staff who had saved his life 88 days earlier.
His presence inspired Luton to an incredible first-half performance but goodness knows what happened to them after the break.
Lockyer, who became a father last week, was all smiles as he was applauded by everyone in the stadium ahead of a key match for his side.
