at Kenilworth Road

GRAND old Kenilworth Road hosted its first top-flight match in more than 30 years, when 10,802 fans saw a committed Luton Town lose 2-1 to West Ham on Friday evening.

A 37th minute header from Jarrod Bowen put David Moyes side 1-0 ahead, prior to an 85th minute Kurt Zouma goal to seal victory for the East Londoners, despite Mads Andersen’s late consolation for the Hatters.

To the soundtrack of an utterly raucous “Kenny” as loyal Hatters fans call it, Rob Edwards’s side gave their all for the cause, as supporters savoured hosting the world’s richest and most glamorous league at their humble home.
