Carlton Morris, Luton's top scorer in the Championship last season, scored their first Premier League goal, also from the penalty spot, to give them late hope.
But Luton were punished for a defensive error, with Simon Adingra scoring on his Premier League debut before substitute Evan Ferguson wrapped up the three points.

Wasteful Everton taste opening defeat
Everton failed to take their chances as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Fulham at Goodison Park.
TV Info
Second-half substitute Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored in the 73rd minute to punish a host of missed opportunities from the Toffees.
Neal Maupay was thwarted by Bernd Leno after being played in on goal, Nathan Patterson struck the bar while the scoreline was still goalless, and James Tarkowski came close to finding the bottom corner with a header.
Everton also had a goal ruled out in the first half after Michael Keane put the ball into an empty net but the referee deemed that Leno was fouled in the build-up.
After securing Premier League safety in the final match of last season, it was not the start to 2023/24 that Sean Dyche or the Everton faithful were looking for. They next face Aston Villa.
