Premier League's poorest team makes history

On the night of November 25, Luton defeated Crystal Palace at home thanks to two close-range chances from Teden Mengi and Jacob Brown. On the other side of the front line, the "Blue Eagles" only scored a goal after a beautiful curling shot from Michael Olise.

This was Luton's first home win in Premier League history. The Hatters are the poorest club in the Premier League. Luton's home ground, Kenilworth Road, is the smallest in the Premier League, with a capacity of just over 11,000. Luton's squad is also the lowest in the league (€87.2 million), a figure that is not even equal to a new signing from a "Big Six" club.

Luton also won against Everton in September, but that match was away from home.

Mengi (number 15), former MU player helped Luton win.

3 points against experienced opponents in the Premier League help Luton temporarily safe when they are 4 points above the "red light" group. Luton is the team with the best performance among the 3 newly promoted teams this season. Coach Rob Edwards' team has won 9 points after 13 matches with 2 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses.

Meanwhile, Burnley, last season's Championship champions, are bottom of the table with just four points after 13 games. Last night, the Turf Moor team took the lead but still lost 1-2 to West Ham. If the situation does not improve, coach Vincent Kompany will likely be fired.

The other newly promoted team, Sheffield, is also in danger. “The Blades” have only 5 points, 1 more than Burnley and are in danger of being relegated again. Up to this point, they have won only 1 match against Wolves, the rest are 2 draws and 10 losses.
