Luton Town secured a crucial win against Newcastle, with a first-half header from Andros Townsend proving to be the game-changer. The win is being hailed as one of the team’s most significant victories since their return to the top-flight. Throughout the match, Luton appeared to be the more aggressive side, with several near misses including strikes on the crossbar by Ross Barkley and Jacob Brown. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak managed to put the ball in the net, but the goal was disallowed due to a marginal offside call, adding to Newcastle’s frustrations.
