It was not a day to believe in miracles after all. Luton, as they have done all season, gave their all one last time but had relegation confirmed with a final-day defeat to Fulham.
A brace from Raul Jimenez between two beautiful long-range strikes from Adama Traore and Harry Wilson saw the Cottagers condemn Rob Edwards' proud side at Kenilworth Road.
But by Jove, they gave it a go. Carlton Morris scored from the spot and Alfie Doughty beat everyone with a low free-kick into the bottom corner. Tahith Chong had an early goal ruled out for offside.
