Wild celebrations in one small corner of an otherwise deserted Goodison Park told the story of a momentous day for Luton Town. For the first time since Brian Stein and Mark Pembridge scored in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa in April 1992 the Hatters had a top-flight victory to savour, and savour it they did after Rob Edwards’s resolute team brought fresh misery for Everton and Sean Dyche.
Goals from Tom Lockyer and Carlton Morris, both from Alfie Doughty set pieces, delivered a richly deserved debut win in the Premier League. Everton, meanwhile, picked a terrible day to lose a fourth consecutive home game from the start of the season for the first time since 1958-59.
