Arsenal vs Luton Town
That’s full-time, and Arsenal see out a comfortable 2-0 victory over Luton to take them back to the summit of the Premier League! Already two goals to the god following a one-sided first half, the Gunners were happy to take things down a notch for much of the second period. They still had chances though, with Tomiyasu putting a shot wide and Nketiah's late effort producing a fingertip save from Kaminski. It was Luton who pressed harder to find the net at the other end, going close through Onyedinma and Hashioka but never really being able to test Raya between the Arsenal sticks. As a result, the Hatters' league-leading scoring streak comes to an end, with the defeat leaving them three points adrift of safety in the fight for Premier League survival, while Arsenal march on to go top of the pile, two points ahead of Liverpool with this season's three-way title fight looking set to go down to the wire.

Kabore looks to get on the end of Doughty's cross into the area, but goes down following a body-check from Trossard which, to Luton's frustration, doesn't yield a penalty call from the referee!

Hashioka tries a lofted ball forward up the middle to Berry, but his flick-on troubles no-one and is easy for Raya to collect.

SAVED!!! Kaminski's rushed clearance is cut straight out by Jorginho, who has Nketiah ahead of him. The striker cuts onto his right foot and drills a low shot towards the near post, which Kaminski gets down to and parries behind for a corner!!

BLOCKED!! Doughty bursts down the left-hand side and dinks a cross back from the byline. It's over the heads of everyone, but an arriving Hashioka meets the ball with a half-volley that Gabriel does very well to block!

Arsenal have won all five of their league games against promoted sides this season, netting at least three goals each time with 23 in total! Will they keep up that impressive record with a late third against Luton here?
