EPL: Lindelof rescues narrow 1-0 victory for Manchester United against Luton Town

After a hard-fought battle, Manchester United narrowly won struggling Luton Town 1-0 at Old Trafford, all thanks to Victor Lindelof.

Lindelof’s second-half strike proved to be the game decider. The deadlock-breaking moment came when Lindelof capitalized on Luton’s defensive lapse, sweeping home a corner shortly before the hour mark.

Despite the victory, under-fire United side’s performance raised concerns, especially with Rasmus Hojlund missing an early opportunity, denied by Luton keeper Thomas Kaminski.

The display adds to the pressure on their manager Erik ten Hag, despite the team moving up to sixth place in the Premier League table.

The win is a crucial one for United’s position in the league, now three points behind fourth-place Liverpool.

Luton, despite the loss, maintains their 17th position in the league, just above the relegation zone, on goal difference.
