The build-up to the goal involved patient play and key passes from Havertz and Smith Rowe. Arsenal's second goal came from a cross by Emile Smith Rowe, which was turned into his own net by Luton's defender Hashioka in the 43rd minute. Throughout the match, Arsenal's build-up play and strategic passing were highlighted, showcasing the team's tactical approach and effective execution on the field.
Smart run from Smith Rowe to get into a cut back position. Delays playing the ball until Nelson has got a ride the front. Good, aggressive movement from Nelson who had been a little lethargic until then. 2-0 and comfortable for Arsenal. Over to City…

Looks like it'll probably be an own goal off Hashioka. Nutmeg assist from ESR though https://t.co/6Z7uCaEjDN
#afc 2-0 #ltfc Smith Rowe, in acres of space, tries to find Nelson but the ball goes in off Hashioka.
2-0 from Reiss Nelson, with what looks like "a Lee Sharpe"

Outrageous stuff from Odegaard to set up that ESR chance.
Arsenal's build-up has been interesting so far. Odegaard has dropped much deeper than Partey at times to be the first receiver while Partey has become a centre-back at others. A few different passing angles cropping up as a result https://t.co/qIn1TkmhDK

1-0 Arsenal, Odegaard, great finish
Partey receives off Raya and immediately finds Odegaard who slides the ball into the Luton half for Havertz. Three passes taking Arsenal from their box into the final third but they don't take advantage this time
