The game between Arsenal and Luton Town was one for the ages. The Gunners took an early lead with Gabrielle Martinelli’s opening goal in the 20th minute. Luton Town responded just five minutes later with a goal from Gabriel Osho. Arsenal regained the lead before the end of the first period as Gabriel Jesus put the ball in the back of the net in the 45th minute.

Ross Barkley pulled off a huge upset in the 57th minute by giving Luton Town a 3-2 lead after trailing twice in the game. Arsenal’s Kai Havertz responded just three minutes later. While it looked like the match would end in a draw, Declan Rice scored the game-winner in the 97th minute, leaving the crowd in a frenzy.

With the win over Luton Town, Arsenal extended their winning streak to 5 games. It is now two wins ahead of the second-placed Liverpool, albeit having played one more game. Arsenal has not won the Premier League since 2004, and fans are hoping this might be the year they finally get over the hump and lift the trophy, giving die-hard fans like Joel Embiid a chance to celebrate.
