DECLAN RICE'S LAST-MINUTE WINNER SECURES ARSENAL'S VICTORY

A Massive Moment for Arsenal
Declan Rice's dramatic stoppage-time goal gave Arsenal a thrilling 4-3 win against Luton, and it's being hailed as a massive moment for their season. The Gunners were in danger of dropping points in their quest for the Premier League title, but Rice's £105 million header in the seventh minute of added time saved the day.

Luton's Strong Performance
Luton, the underdogs in this match, briefly took the lead with a score of 3-2 during an impressive display at Kenilworth Road. England star Rice praised the hosts, acknowledging their quality and warning against underestimating them in the league.

Set-Piece Troubles
Rice admitted that Luton made Arsenal pay for their mistakes at the back, particularly from set-pieces. The Gunners had taken 1-0 and 2-1 leads through Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, but Luton equalized twice with goals from Gabriel Osho and Elijah Adebayo.

A Thrilling Finale
Luton sent the stadium into pandemonium when Ross Barkley put them ahead 3-2. However, Kai Havertz managed to equalize for Arsenal, making it 3-3. The game seemed destined for a draw until Rice's stunning last-minute winner secured the victory for the Gunners.

Arsenal's Position in the League
With this win, Arsenal now sits five points clear at the top of the Premier League. However, Rice knows that there are many more important moments to come if they want to lift the title in May.

Learning and Adapting
Rice emphasized the importance of taking each game as it comes and learning from past experiences. He mentioned Bukayo Saka, who was part of the team last season when they had an eight-point lead. Rice believes that they have grown as a group and need to focus on themselves, not worrying about other teams. Following the manager's instructions, ticking off games, and earning three points each time is their key to success.

Credit to Luton
Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged Luton's excellent performance, giving credit to their delivery and finishing. He praised them as tough opponents and complimented their efforts throughout the match.
