We moved back to the top of the Premier League after beating Luton Town 2-0 to extend our unbeaten league run to 10 matches.
The damage was done before half-time as Martin Odegaard opened the scoring on 24 minutes before an own goal from Daiki Hashioka doubled our lead just before the interval.
A much-changed side then managed the second half to secure the three points that saw them leapfrog Liverpool at the division’s summit, at least until Thursday night when the Reds are next in action as our title challenge continues.
