In the first 37 seconds of the game, Rasmus Hojlund scored the opener for Manchester United. A clearance from Casemiro went towards Luton Town defender Bell. Bell passed the ball straight to Hojlund, who then ran toward the middle of the pitch with the ball. Hojlund ran past Luton Town keeper Kaminski and then shot the ball into the empty net with his left foot. Hojlund became the youngest ever Premier League player to score in six consecutive games.

Rasmus Højlund has scored Manchester United's earliest-ever Premier League away goal. Six minutes later, Hojlund would score his brace with a bit of fortune. A corner kick for Man United was cleared from the box. Alejandro Garnacho takes a volley shot from the edge of the box, but his shot hits Hojlund in the box. Hojlund's chest deflects the ball to the opposite side of where Luton Town keeper Kaminski was standing. It looked like there would be more goals for Man United, but it quickly.

7 minutes after the Hojlund brace, Carlton Morris scored for Luton Town to make it 2-1. Chong took a shot towards goal but Harry Maguire deflects the ball away from Shaw. The ball falls perfectly for Morris in the box to head it past Onana.

Luton Town had many chances after the goal, and Man United was vulnerable at the back. Luton Town took 11 shots to Man United's 7, but the Red Devils held on to the lead at halftime.
