Despite Luton’s early resilience, Arsenal took the lead through Gabriel Martinelli after a defensive error gifted them a dangerous throw-in. However, Luton quickly responded as Osho nodded in a powerful header from Alfie Doughty’s corner.
Ben White’s well-chipped cross allowed Gabriel Jesus to restore Arsenal’s lead before halftime. The second half, however, belonged to Luton as Elijah Adebayo and Ross Barkley turned the game on its head, capitalizing on lapses from Arsenal’s goalkeeper, David Raya.
Arsenal retaliated swiftly, with Kai Havertz’s deft touch leveling the score within minutes. The remainder of the match became an intense battle, with Arsenal seeking a breakthrough against Luton’s resilient defense. A controversial VAR decision denied Arsenal a penalty, adding to the drama.
As the clock ticked down, spectators were treated to a dramatic finale. In stoppage time, Martin Ødegaard’s precise cross met the head of Declan Rice, securing Arsenal’s first victory at Kenilworth Road in 12 meetings. The win marked Arsenal’s sixth consecutive triumph across all competitions.
Elsewhere, Wolverhampton Wanderers emerged victorious against Burnley with a narrow 1-0 win, breaking a streak of seven winless encounters in the Premier League.
The decisive moment came in the 42nd minute when defensive lapses from Burnley allowed Matheus Cunha to set up Hwang Hee-chan, who clinically broke the deadlock.
Despite a spirited effort from Burnley in the second half, Wolves maintained their lead. Mario Lemina’s headed attempt and Pablo Sarabia’s set-piece deliveries kept the visitors on their toes, but Wolves’ goalkeeper, James Trafford, ensured the home side’s advantage.
For Burnley, the absence of key chances and the frustration of conceding continued their away woes, marking their fourth consecutive Premier League away defeat. The once-promising 5-0 victory over Sheffield United seemed distant, emphasizing the challenges the team faces on the road.
Wolves, on the other hand, found relief in this hard-fought win, avoiding a third consecutive top-flight loss and ending a seven-game streak without a clean sheet at Molineux. The victory solidifies Wolves’ position and adds pressure to Burnley as they strive to reverse their away form in the upcoming fixtures.
