Wissa swiftly connected with Bryan Mbeumo's pass, beautifully curling in the opening goal from the box's edge just 24 minutes into the match.

Before the half-time whistle, the DR Congo striker seized another opportunity, reacting fastest to a loose ball following Luton's failure to clear Mbeumo's low cross.

Ethan Pinnock, back in the starting lineup after a hiatus since February, nodded in a Sergio Reguilon corner in the 62nd minute, firmly placing Brentford in control.

Luton appeared disheartened and short on ideas, highlighted when Keane Lewis-Potter found space at the far post to head in Mbeumo's cross two minutes later, followed by Kevin Schade wrapping up the visitor's scoring.

Although the hosts posed a minimal threat, they were granted a consolation in injury time when Luke Berry seized an opportunity, sidestepping goalkeeper Mark Flekken and slotting home from a narrow angle.

Let's explore the best Luton reaction

Paul, a Luton fan, messaged us this on Facebook: "I've been a loyal supporter of Luton Town for four decades now, and I must say, I can't recall a more disappointing performance. Honestly, if it hadn't been for our goalkeeper Kaminski, we would have been looking at a much heavier defeat. I'm stunned.

Jamie, another Luton fan, added: "We were nowhere to be seen out there. It felt like we were lacking our usual spark. Without a doubt, this was the poorest showing of the entire season! I'm feeling quite anxious at the moment. We need to rediscover our fighting spirit in these final four matches and keep our fingers crossed for some favourable results elsewhere!

Frank was also annoyed with Luton's performance: "What on earth did I just witness? It was such an out-of-character performance from Luton. The team selection caught me completely off guard, especially with players returning from injury earlier than expected. Brentford took full advantage of a team that hasn't had much time to gel since the injuries began. Barkley had a rough day, but it's his first off-day in the last 30 matches."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
