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.

Rob Edwards’ side went down fighting. In truth, any dreams of a shock survival died after 78 seconds when news filtered into the ground that Nottingham Forest had taken the lead at Burnley . Raul Jimenez (middle left) proved to be the winner for Fulham with a brace at Kenilworth Road Adama Traore opened the scoring with a fierce strike in the 43rd minute of the fixture .
