Arsenal 2-0 Luton
From the very first minute of the first half, Zinchenko and Smith Rowe both had early half-chances blocked by the desperate Luton defense, but the visitors were powerless to stop Arsenal from cutting through them on 24 minutes when Odegaard scored. Smith Rowe and Havertz both forced close-range saves from Kaminski as Arsenal turned the screw, eventually getting their second goal via Hashioka deflecting Trossard’s cutback into his own net.
Arsenal lost their bite in the second half and was unable to score more after heavy substitutions.
