This was always anticipated to be a challenging outing for Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta likely didn't foresee it unfolding in such a manner.
In the end, the Gunners departed Kenilworth Road with a 4-3 victory in a night marked by chaos and errors, as defensive lapses and individual mistakes led to all three goals conceded.
The heroics of Declan Rice in the final minutes secured the win, continuing his impressive start at Arsenal and prompting jubilant scenes on the touchline. Arteta's staff raced to the away end, celebrating with fans who swarmed Rice in a moment of pure emotion.
The significance of this triumph cannot be overstated, as it propels Arsenal five points clear at the summit of the Premier League.
Arteta must be breathing a sigh of relief, as the match appeared poised for frustration for much of the night. Luton deserves credit for turning it into a fierce contest, and their evident disappointment at the final whistle sharply contrasted with the elation on the Gunners' bench.
While Arsenal has boasted the best defense in the Premier League this season, this match served as an off-night, reminiscent of their early days under Arteta.
