On the night of November 25, Luton defeated Crystal Palace at home thanks to two close-range chances from Teden Mengi and Jacob Brown. On the other side, the "Blue Eagles" only scored a goal after a beautiful curling shot from Michael Olise.
This was Luton's first home win in Premier League history. The Hatters are the poorest club in the Premier League. Luton's home ground, Kenilworth Road, is the smallest in the Premier League, with a capacity of just over 11,000. Luton's squad is also the lowest in the league (87.2 million euros), a figure that is not even equal to a new signing from a "Big Six" club.
Luton also won against Everton in September, but that match was away from home.
Mengi (number 15), former MU player helped Luton win.
3 points against an experienced opponent in the Premier League helps Luton temporarily safe when they are 4 points above the "red light" group. Luton is the team with the best performance among the 3 newly promoted teams this season. Coach Rob Edwards's team has won 9 points after 13 matches with 2 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses.
Meanwhile, Burnley, the champions of the Championship last season, are at the bottom of the table with only 4 points after 13 rounds. Last night, the home team at Turf Moor took the lead but still lost 1-2 to West Ham. If the situation cannot improve, coach Vincent Kompany will likely be fired.
The other newly promoted team, Sheffield, is also in danger. “The Blades” have only 5 points, 1 point more than Burnley and are in danger of being relegated again. Up to this point, they have won only 1 match against Wolves, the rest are 2 draws and 10 losses.
