The Red Devils dominated possession in the first half and were able to control the game against promoted Luton. The Red Devils went on the attack and created the decisive chance. Rashford crossed from the right flank and the ball found its way between the goalkeeper and the defense, where Hoilearn got a leg on it but was denied by Kaminski.

United were unable to create much of a chance after that. Luton defended solidly, with all 10 men dropping below the halfway line, and United were unable to exploit the Luton defense effectively.

In the final minute of the first half, United had the decisive chance. After intercepting a poor Luton pass on the right flank, Hoyle found Garnacho on the left flank. Garnacho found himself one-on-one with the keeper in a completely empty box and cut inside to his right, only to see his shot saved by Kaminsky.

The Red Devils pushed forward in the second half and eventually broke through. In the 14th minute of the second half, Rashford headed in a loose ball from a corner kick. The ball bounced out and Lindelof slid it in with his right foot, rattling the net.

Even after taking the lead, United continued to push Luton forward. Utilizing the quick feet of their flankers to attack, United created several chances. However, the score remained at 1-0 as the Luton defense remained focused and Kaminski made saves.

After 40 minutes, Luton’s offense took over. Luton pushed up the line and attacked in search of an equalizer. United remained focused at the back and protected their one-goal lead.

In the end, United held on for a one-goal victory to record their second straight league win and move into sixth place in the league.
