Luton stunned Brighton with an early onslaught scoring twice within three minutes and ultimately securing a remarkable victory. Elijah Adebayo’s hat-trick propelled the Hatters out of the Premier League relegation zone. The match saw Luton take a commanding lead with goals from Adebayo and Chiedozie Ogbene leaving Brighton reeling.

Adebayo’s exceptional performance marked Luton’s first top-flight hat-trick in over three decades. Despite Brighton’s attempts to recover, they struggled to find their rhythm failing to register a shot on target until late in the game. Manager Rob Edwards emphasized Luton’s attacking mentality which proved decisive in their impressive win.

Conversely, Brighton’s manager Roberto de Zerbi acknowledged his team’s poor performance and expressed disappointment over the defeat. The result lifted Luton in the standings highlighting their potential to defy expectations and avoid relegation. However, Brighton’s lackluster display raises concerns about their form as they face upcoming matches against Crystal Palace and Tottenham.
