LUTON, England (AP) — Jacob Bruun Larsen’s dramatic winner snatched Burnley its first Premier League win of the season with a 2-1 victory at Luton on Tuesday.

The Dane’s goal-of-the-season contender came after Lyle Foster’s opener had been canceled out by Hatters striker Elijah Adebayo.

Rob Edwards’ Luton side was left to rue missed chances once again as it failed to build on Saturday’s 2-1 win at Everton.
