Declan Rice’s header in stoppage time sealed a tҺrilling 4-3 victory for Arsenal against Luton, temporarily extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus scored for Arsenal, but each of their goals was canceled out by Gabriel Osho and Elijah Adebayo respectively. Ross Barkley then put Luton ahead 3-2 before Kai Havertz equalized for Arsenal. In the dying moments of the match, Rice rose to meet Martin Odegaard’s excellent cross and secured the drаmаtic win for Arsenal.

The victory marked Arsenal’s sixth consecutive win across all competitions and solidified their position at the top of the table, five points clear of second-placed Liverpool.
