The referee might be taking a lot of the spotlight, with both sides having valid penalty shouts waved away in the first 45 minutes. Huge second half ahead with a goal a piece.
30': Luton captain Sonny Bradley makes it 1-1 after smashing in a cross from the free-kick. Superb finish. 1-1 at Kenilworth Road!
12': Danel Sinani slots one past the keeper at his near post and gives Huddersfield a 1-0 lead!
Argentine forward Angel Di Maria is available for free this summer, and it looks like Juventus are chasing the former Real Madrid man.
Translated: #DiMaria : the decision of #Juventus comes into play. Maximum technical appreciation, still ongoing evaluations regarding the engagement / age issue. A new contact with the Argentine entourage is expected in the next few hours
Frank Lampard was waiting at Goodison Park to meet with Everton fans who have been making all the noise that's helped them climb out of the relegation zone.
Eddie Nketiah is unlikely to stay at the Emirates this summer, with West Ham, Newcastle, Everton and Crystal Palace all reportedly interested in bringing in the 22-year-old.
Liverpool and Chelsea also monitoring situation - 22 y/o could provide attractive squad depth option.

RB Leipzig's Konrad Laimer is on the list. Quality player.
I can't put into words how amazing a signing this would be. Such a good player if you watch him closely and see the work he does ๐ #avfc

Antonio Conte offered some advice for Mikel Arteta:
"He complains a lot. He has to focus more on his team. He has to focus more on his work. He has to continue to work because he's very good...If he wants to accept my advice that is good, otherwise I don't care."

On a free transfer he'd be a massive signing for Bayern Munich but might damage their wage structure.

Who would you pick? ๐
He's not had a great year with injuries but he's certainly a clinical striker who would be a solid improvement on Chris Wood.
The 30-year-old's contract runs until the end of the 2022-23 season.
Honestly, who at the club thought this was a good idea...
Tottenham Hotspur humiliated their North London rivals with a 3-0 win that takes them within a point of Arsenal and the Champions League places, with two games to play. It was a relentless performance from Antonio Conte’s side, who battered Arsenal into submission, as Rob Holding was sent off in the first half and Harry Kane scored twice.
