He won after crazy scenes

• Luton – Arsenal 3 – 4 (1 – 2)

For a long time, Arsenal looked set for a huge success against newly promoted Luton. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was passively involved in two goals and was given a thumbs up by the experts.

But in extra time, Martin Odegaard fed Declan Rice into the box and was once again outright leaders of the series.

– This is the difference between the top and the bottom in the English Premier League, concluded ViaPlay commentator Roar Stucki after the match.

Luton have proven to be a difficult team to beat at home, and Arsenal really felt that tonight. But in the end they can celebrate a big win away from home.

Impressive home team

Luton showed early on that they would not be left behind against a high-flying Arsenal. The long-time series leader struggled to get his game up against an aggressive home team.

But after 20 minutes the home team fell behind. Arsenal executed a quick throw-in towards Bukayo Saka, who found fellow winger Gabriel Martinelli inside the penalty area. The Brazilian scored the lead goal.

– This shows the difference between the best and worst teams. Here, Luton has done everything right so far. The best only need half a chance to punish the worst. Allowing entry is a poor goal, said Lars Tiarnas, an expert commentator at Viaplay.

But it did not take several minutes before the two teams were at the same distance.

After 24 minutes, Luton goalkeeper Gabriel Osho equalized the score from a corner kick.

– The simplest recipe in the world for scoring from set pieces, with one good foot from set pieces and a powerful powerful header. Tjærnås said of the equaliser: The total makes it 1-1.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal started things well and launched a great attack. Ben White played a wonderful pass from Saka and sent a wonderful cross to Gabriel Jesus at the back post.

And so the series leader entered the dressing room with leadership.

– Horrible

The second half started like the first.

Luton’s aggressive players continued to cause problems for the neon yellow from London. As had happened earlier in the match, the 2-2 equalizer came after a corner kick. Adebayo scored the second equalizer of the evening after poor guarding.

– Poor goalkeeping by Raya. It’s just the wrong times and it barely gets off the ground. It’s simply a failing grade. “Lose that duel fair and square,” Tjærnås said.

With just over half an hour to go, the transformation was real. Ross Barkley fired the ball into the far corner, once again calling into question the goalkeeper’s performance.

– New blunder from David Raya. What a moment for Luton Town supporters, commented Roar Stuckey.

– Raya makes his second big blister, concluded ViaPlay Nails expert Johan Semp after the match.
