Arsenal picked up a 2-0 win over Luton Town last night, and Eddie Nketiah and Jurrien Timber seem impressed with one of their teammates.

The Gunners were keen to return to winning ways after dropping points in their 0-0 draw at Manchester City last Sunday.

Mikel Arteta, however, made five changes to his side, with Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe, Leandro Trossard, Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko all coming in.

That affected Arsenal‘s rhythm, but the Gunners still managed to get the job done. One player was the star of the show, and Nketiah and Timber seem impressed by him.

Arsenal star hailed as ‘the best’ after win over Luton Town

Arsenal fans were a bit concerned when they saw Mikel Arteta‘s team last night.

Everyone expected the Arsenal boss to make a couple of changes, but some felt five was a bit too much against this tricky Luton side.

However, the players Arteta threw on performed really well, and Arsenal fans’ fears of dropping points were put to bed in the first half itself.

One player who was absolutely amazing last night was Emile Smith Rowe.

The Englishman made just his second Premier League start of the season against Luton last night, and every Arsenal fan wanted him to do well.

Smith Rowe, a player Mikel Arteta loves, won the ball back that led to the first goal and then assisted the second. He was rightly named as the Man of the Match.

The 23-year-old took to Instagram to celebrate his award last night, and a few of his teammates lauded him in the comments.

Eddie Nketiah wrote “The best”, while Jurrien Timber and Martin Odegaard showed him some as well.

Arsenal’s record in 2024 is just ridiculous

Arsenal‘s win against Luton Town last night pushed them to the top of the Premier League table.

The Gunners started this season as one of the contenders and they looked strong from the first game of the campaign. However, it’s their form since the turn of the year that’s really impressive.

In 2024, Arsenal have played 10 games in the league and have won nine of them, drawing the other one against Manchester City last weekend.

In those games, Mikel Arteta’s men have scored 35 goals and have conceded just five. They’ve also kept six clean sheets, which is really impressive.

If Arsenal continue this incredible run until the end of the season, they have every chance of finishing ahead of both Liverpool and Manchester City.
