Teammate amazed by Arsenal loanee’s display in dramatic Boxing Day win
Albert Sambi Lokonga has been hailed for producing a masterclass after the Arsenal midfielder helped Luton Town claim a vital three points in their fight to stay in the Premier League.
The Hatters picked up a massive win away at Sheffield United on Boxing Day, with two own goals late on giving Rob Edwards’ side the victory at Bramall Lane.
Albert Sambi Lokonga made only his second start since September. And he certainly appears to be determined to make up for lost time after missing much of the campaign due to injury.
Albert Sambi Lokonga lauded after Luton win
The Belgian won three tackles during the 3-2 win, according to . No Luton player won more. Meanwhile, he also managed to make two goalline clearances. It was also his assist for the opening goal of the game – though Wes Foderingham will know that he should never have conceded from Alfie Doughty’s strike.
Lokonga has since taken to to express his delight at the win. And a particularly notable reply came from Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski…
Arsenal fans will be keeping eye on midfielder’s form
There will be plenty of Arsenal fans keen to see how Lokonga gets on during his time at Kenilworth Road. The fact that he was loaned out once again in the summer shows that his time at the Emirates has not yet gone to plan.
Crystal Palace sacking Patrick Vieira appeared to hurt him last season as he only made a couple of appearances under Roy Hodgson.
And obviously, injury has been a key factor in his campaign this time around.
But Rob Edwards is apparently keen to sign Lokonga permanently. So that potentially says something about the talent he possesses.
It remains to be seen if he can force his way into Mikel Arteta’s plans again. But the last two games hint that he is ready to play a big role in Luton’s push to stay in the Premier League.
