Arsenal reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League with a convincing 2-0 win against Luton Town, extending their unbeaten league run to 10 matches.

The Gunners took control of the game before halftime, with Martin Odegaard opening the scoring on 24 minutes and Daiki Hashioka scoring an own goal just before the break, doubling Arsenal’s lead.

Manager Mikel Arteta made five changes to the team, including handing starts to Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe, and Thomas Partey, who put in solid performances throughout the match.

Despite Luton Town’s attempts to push forward in the second half, they failed to trouble Arsenal’s defense, allowing the Gunners to comfortably secure the three points.

With this victory, Arsenal now sits at the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Liverpool, at least until Liverpool’s next match on Thursday.
