5-0 and it is a very good result to celebrate Carra's 500th game and to create a proper headline for the newspaper. Although we find it hard to break through during first half, Luton relaxed a bit in the injury time and we quickly take advantage of it. The second half is a one way traffic and starting from the first kick that Xabi try to score from the midfield, it's only a matter of how many goals we will score. Now we need to move on and start scoring more goals for fun.
