Luton Town’s goal against Everton has guaranteed Arsenal at least one accolade.
On Friday night, Luton welcomed the Toffees to Kenilworth Road as they look to continue their fight for Premier League survival.
However, they found themselves behind after Everton were awarded a penalty due to a foul on Jarrad Branthwaite.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin dispatched the penalty to make it 1-0 but Elijah Adebayo equalised for the Hatters in the 31st minute.
The goal from Adebayo is crucial for Luton’s survival bit and it was also important for Arsenal.
As a result of Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s failure to keep a clean sheet, it has been confirmed that Gunners stopper David Raya has won the Golden Glove trophy for the 23/24 season.

“This secures him at least a share of the 2023/24 @Castrol Golden Glove!”
Although a huge achievement, Raya and Arsenal will be fully focused on giving themselves the best chance of clinching the Premier League trophy.

However, Pep Guardiola’s men have a game in hand and know that if they win all their remaining matches, they will retain their title.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal match against Bournemouth, manager Mikel Arteta said: “I have a different game in my head for tomorrow but we are going to have to perform really well tomorrow and be our best. If we do that, we have a really good chance of winning.
“We played in many different scenarios this season and our job is clear. We have to win our game and wait. The only thing we can focus on is that.”

“The first one is Bournemouth, it’s at home, it’s going to be an unbelievable atmosphere again. Be present and be in the moment and let’s see what happens.”
