    Declan Rice headed home right at the death to spare goalkeeper David Raya’s blushes after his two errors and move the Gunners five-points clear.
    However, the action-packed Premier League showdown also provided another thrill for those watching at home – especially viewers of hit BBC show The Traitors.
    Those tuning in were in disbelief when a shot of the Luton bench showed Dr. Amos Ogunkoya, who appeared in the British reality TV series, sitting behind boss Rob Edwards.
    One eagle-eyed fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and said: “Amos from The Traitors being Luton’s Club Doctor has really made my day.

    “Youngest first-team club doctor in the PL!”

    A fellow viewer said: “I’ve been wondering where I’ve seen the fella on the bench from Luton. It’s only bloody Amos from the Traitors!
    Another wrote: “Felt like a proud mum seeing Dr Amos on the pitch for Luton.”

    As another added: “Luton’s club doctor being Amos from The Traitors has blown my mind.”
    Dr. Amos, 31, previously held the same role at League Two side Colchester United.
    After completing his Masters in Sports and Exercise Medicine and already holding a similar role at League Two Colchester United, this summer he qualified to become a specialist in GP.
    He then made the switch to Luton to become the youngest first-team club doctor in the Premier League.
    He previously told the Royal College of General Practioners: “I didn’t think I’d be in the Premier League this quickly, but it was always part of the plan.” More

    The pair may have to work together to uncover who is the traitor amongst the group, and who is not.
    Wilder and his co-stars will take part in games during the day, and an elimination every night, before the traitors kill (remove from the game with a slip of paper) another player before breakfast.
    The show is filmed at a remote Scottish castle so Wilder is set to land in the UK.
    It is a significant change of pace for the former heavyweight champion, who has been tipped to fight Anthony Joshua.

    Wilder, 37, has not fought since devastatingly knocking out Robert Helenius in October last year.
    But he could step into the ring with Joshua next after the pair reportedly agreed terms.
    However a location and venue is still yet to be decided on, which means the grudge match will likely be pushed back to 2024.
    That provides Wilder with enough time to film The Traitors – should he go all the way and win the competition.

    Wilder also had a war of words with Andy Ruiz Jr over the summer as they negotiated a potential fight.
    The Bronze Bomber threatened to “splatter” Ruiz’s brain in a chilling warning.
    He said: “With my team, with your team, and now it’s time to put it all together.
    “Who acting scared? It isn’t me. You know, because what y ‘all talk about is unreasonable. Let’s face it, and it is what it is.
    “So when you serious, holla at me until then. Do what you do, bro. You got a lot of weight to lose, man. You can talk that talk. But only a few walk that walk.
    “You know what I mean? So if you want to see what a knockout feels like, get your brain splattered. Holla at me, bro. I’m not far.” More
