Chapter 257 The battle at the top of the list with the largest difference in strength

The back-to-back big wins are a testament to Luton's good form at this stage, and they look like there is no team in the First Division to match!

Charlton manager Parkinson said at his pre-match press conference ahead of the start of the 37th round of the league: "I think Luton are the best team in the league right now, their performance in the Europa League has been impressive, but luckily they have to be distracted from the Europa League, otherwise Luton Town would have left Charlton points away before we could meet directly!" ”

"If they're fit, no team in the First Division can beat them and I think they'll be a great team in the Championship in the future!"

Parkkinson slammed Luton in his pre-match press conference. He hoped that Luton would be able to take a little bit of a light after he stopped talking, so that his team could fish in troubled waters.

And Gao Bo also praised Charlton in the pre-match press conference: "We lost to Charlton in the league this season, which proves that they have enough quality, this time we will definitely not have an easy game against them away from home, we have to give it our all and then see what happens in the game!" ”

The managers of both sides looked polite before the game, but when it came to the game, both sides showed no mercy at all.

Charlton shrank back from the start.

Parkkinson's remarks weren't without purpose, and to be honest, he had seen Luton Town in the Europa League.

It's like the kind of game that Luton played against Juventus, but Charlton would never be able to play.

So Parkkinson is well aware that there is a big difference in strength between Charlton and Luton.

But fortunately, the league is not a knockout system like the Europa League, as long as Charlton does not lose to Luton in this game, then their top position will not be snatched away by Luton, and then even if Luton wins the rest of the games, as long as Charlton himself does not drop the chain, then the initiative to win the championship this season is still in Charlton's hands.

So Charlton was in the mood to keep the draw and win, they shrank back to play a counter-attack, leaving a striker up front to contain Luton's back line.

Luton, of course, know very well that they can only win this game.

Otherwise, if they lose away to Charlton Athletic, or even draw with them, their goal of winning the title this season could be ruined.

Facing Charlton who retreated back to defend, Luton of course pressed up and attacked as a matter of course!

Charlton did work hard defensively, they used big defensive moves and forward blocks to stop Luton's attack, and the score has not changed!

It wasn't until the 41st minute of the first half that Vardy took the ball in the box and turned and was brought to the ground, and the referee awarded a penalty!

Charlton finally paid the price for his big move!

Although they protested loudly, there were sharp boos from the stands, and head coach Parkkinson was quite unhappy with the decision, but it did not change the reality!

The referee doesn't change the decision easily because of their protest!

Antoine Griezmann came to take the penalty and hit it easily!

1 to 0!

In the second half, Charlton who was one goal behind didn't make much sense to shrink back to the back, so they planned to press up and attack!

In the 53rd minute of the game, after Charlton pressed up, fullback Morris crossed, and the football was picked up by Schmeichel high jumped!

Then immediately the big kick launched a counterattack!

Vardy ran wildly, got in front of the centre-backs to take the ball down, and then shook off the defenders who were chasing after him with explosive power!

Single-handedly facing the goalkeeper!

Vardy nudges the corner!

Two to zero!!

"Nice counterattack!! Luton extend the score!! ”

"In the battle for the top of the table, Luton completely suppressed Charlton! They play very comfortably away from home! Whether it is a positional battle or a counterattack, Charlton's side will be difficult to resist! Although the game time is only more than 50 minutes, the situation is decided! Luton Town will win this battle for the top spot! ”

The commentator is right, Luton Town does have an advantage at this time!

After taking a two-goal lead, Gao Bo began to deploy his troops!

He brought on Jamie Vardy for Adam.

Gao Bo wanted to examine the effect of Adam playing as a two-striker with Antoine Griezmann alone.

Now for Gao Bo, this battle for the top spot has completely lost its meaning in his heart.

It is impossible for Luton to be overturned by Charlton in such a situation, so he has begun to have a bit of a training taste in it.

Adam and Antoine Griezmann did have some problems at first, as both men were used to playing wide without Vardy, often resulting in a situation where no one could pick up a heavy position or pass to the middle.

But after a period of adjustment, Griezmann immediately found a way to match Adam.

He pulls himself into the middle and then seeks to cooperate with Adam.

Luton's third goal was not long in coming!

Adam crosses from the side, Griezmann grabs the point in the middle!

Three to zero!!

It was the 76th minute of the game and Luton Town sealed the win.

At this time, Gao Bo continued to make substitutions, he replaced Matt, replaced Griezmann!

It's a new striker match!

Adam with Matt!

The two worked well together, and in the 81st minute of the game, Adam crossed from the left and passed the ball to the back post.

Matt at the back point didn't have to jump, he easily met the ball, and the football flew into the goal!

Four to zero!

"Luton Town have scored again!"

"This is probably the battle for the top of the list with the biggest difference in strength! Charlton Athletic, the top team at home, but they have nothing to do against Luton! ”

'The gap between the two sides at the offensive and defensive ends is so big that Charlton is like playing against a Premier League level team!

"Luton Town is a Premier League team in fact! They are an alternative to the First Division! ”

The commentators shook their heads on the commentary seats.

It was supposed to be a highly anticipated battle for the top spot, but now it looks like a battle between two teams that are not in the same class at all.

It can only be said that Luton's strength has far surpassed other teams in the current First Division!

At the end of the game, the score was 4-0!

Luton Town beat Charlton Athletic away to top the table!

At the end of the game, Gao Bo didn't celebrate much, he was very calm, and after shaking hands with the opposing head coach, he walked into the players' tunnel.

Now it's just a temporary top spot, and if you want to win the title, you need to continue the winning streak in the next nine league games!

What's more, the First Division is just an appetizer, and for Gao Bo, the big meal is still in the Europa League!

Only the opponent will make Gao Bo excited!
