Well, what a game! In a high-tempo match, Luton initially dominated the play, but a quick throw in landed with Saka who somehow gave the pass which led to Martinelli’s 17th-minute goal.
Luton swiftly equalized with Osho’s header in the 22nd minute. Arsenal regained the lead before halftime, as Jesus headed in a cross from White. The second half saw Luton leveling again in the 49th minute through another corner.
Barkey’s 57th-minute shot put Luton ahead 3-2, but Jesus assisted Havertz in equalizing in the 60th minute.
The intense final 30 minutes suggested a draw, but in the 96th minute, an Arsenal free kick led to Rice’s header, securing a 4-3 victory.
Despite the challenges, Arsenal now leads the table with a seven-point margin.
Great highlights to watch over and over!
Enjoy!
This game is not for the faint hearted if you ask me, Arsenal had to throw the entire kitchen sink at the Hatters to come away with all the spoils
Nobody can fault the outfield players for their tenacity. Its not that that is in question. We dont give up thats for sure but too many games, rescued from the fire, will catch us up. A better Stiker and goalkeeper are needed.
Obviously as a disadvantaged short dude in his playing days (no jabs intended), MA will never rate long passes as he will almost always lose out to his marker, and therefore will more than likely favour build up plays from intricate passes from the back as a coach. I believe HEREIN lies the key reason for the Ramsdale-Arteta-Raya puzzle.
Bottom line, Ramsdale is never getting a look-in again in an Arteta team unless his passing skills improves massively.
@Lupe_Nets
Arteta was a DM, very adept at long range on point passes. Jus sayin
Obviously won’t want to be on the receiving ends of those high throws the like of which Ramsdale favours hence his love for Raya.
But Raya is not a better keeper. Thats my point and my view. I just dont get it. He is weak and doesn’t command his box. It doesn’t matter (and its opinion) if Raya is better with his feet, he isn’t as good a keeper. He has no presence.
Opposition teams will latch on to the lack of command shown by Raya in the air and I suspect we will be faced with a barrage of high balls to cope with in the weeks ahead.Even with my Athritic back, I am confident I could have saved the shot from Barkley.
Agree, i think it is a weakness.
