GUNNERS MOVE TOP OF TABLE
Arsenal continued their quest for a first Premier League title since 2004 by moving top of the table with a dominant 2-0 win over relegation-haunted Luton Town at the Emirates.
Manager Mikel Arteta opted to make five changes from the dour 0-0 draw at champions Manchester City on Sunday with Reiss Nelson handed a first league start in four years, but it made little difference to the outcome against a spirited but limited visiting side plagued by their own injury problems.

TROSSARD: ARSENAL SHOW STRENGTH IN DEPTH
Leandro Trossard was full of praise for his team-mate after the 2-0 win over Luton Town.

End of 2nd Half
90+4'
AND THAT WILL BE THAT FOR THE EVENING!
A 2-0 victory for Arsenal, who return top of the table by a point. For 24 hours at least with Liverpool having the chance to reclaim their place at the summit against Sheffield United on Thursday night.
90+1'
INTO FOUR MINUTES OF ADDED TIME
Arsenal heading for three points to go back to the top of the table, a point clear of Liverpool in this absorbing Premier League title race.
88'
ARSENAL CHASE A LATE THIRD
Bit of a non-event this second period with Arsenal in control, but Eddie Nketiah forces a timely diving stop by Thomas Kaminski in the visiting goal.
86'
ANOTHER FINE BLOCK BY GABRIEL
Doughty showing off his skills down the left flank for Luton. Throws over a cross, but the finish by Hashioka is charged down by the towering figure of Gabriel.

ALMOST A DONE DEAL
Feels like this match was done a long time ago as Jorginho replaces Emile Smith Rowe.

LUTON SHUFFLE THE PACK
Looks like a lost cause for Luton, but at least they haven't stopped fighting this evening without ever threatening the home team. Luke Berry replaces Andros Townsend for the closing moments.

ARSENAL DECIDE TO GO FOR GOAL
Fine attacking move by the Gunners on the counter attack ends with Takehiro Tomiyasu arrowing a shot a yard or two wide of goal from distance. It remains 2-0 to the home side.

MAN CITY LEAD ASTON VILLA AT BREAK
A piece of free-kick magic from Phil Foden does the trick before the break.

LUTON EARN A RARE CORNER
Trossard forced to put the Onyedinma cross behind, but Arsenal again deal well with the Doughty corner to clear the danger.
70'
GABRIEL RUNNING THE SHOW FOR ARSENAL
Positional sense is of a high, high level. Luton taking up some decent attacking positions out wide, but not too many options when the ball comes over. Gabriel seems to be everywhere in organising that home defence.

DECENT ATTACKING MOVE BY LUTON
Doughty on the run down the flank for the visitors, but he can't pick out his man in the middle with Morris seeing the ball clear him at the near post before Zinchenko nods back to Raya in the home goal.
66'
ARSENAL OPT TO MAKE TWO CHANGES
Declan Rice replaces Thomas Partey with Eddie Nketiah on for Kai Havertz. Arteta clearly seeking an injection of life in his side, who are game managing the life out of Luton.

LUTON BATTLING HARD HERE
Townsend and Chong asking questions of the Arsenal defence without managing to test Raya in the home goal. Gunners need to be alert.

SUPERB DEFENSIVE WORK BY ARSENAL
And particularly by Gabriel, who rises superbly well to head clear the Doughty free-kick. A decent delivery, but Arsenal so well organised.
