Ally McCoist was left amazed by Arsenal defender Ben White’s assist against Luton Town tonight.
Speaking on Amazon Prime Video, McCoist was blown away by Ben White’s work down the right-hand side for Arsenal’s second goal of the evening.
It proved to be a thrilling 90 minutes of action at Kenilworth Road in a game that swung back and forth.
Arsenal opened the scoring inside 20 minutes after some excellent work from Bukayo Saka to set up Gabriel Martinelli. But Luton responded just five minutes later as Gabriel Osho netted with a header from a corner.
The Gunners then turned on the style for their second of the evening as Ben White played a quick one-two with Saka down the right-hand side.
The Englishman then delivered an inch-perfect ball for Gabriel Jesus, who headed home.
And Ally McCoist labelled White’s assist as ‘beautiful’ while co-commentating on the game tonight.

Speaking on Amazon Prime Video, McCoist reacted to Jesus’ goal right on the stroke of halftime and singled out White for praise.
“Different class that,” the Scotsman said. “If you ever want an invitation as a centre forward just to knock it into the net, you’ve just seen it. Excellent play.”
He added: “It’s a brilliant goal. They just switch off on the left hand side. The delivery is absolutely beautiful.”
White has proven to be a real threat down the right-hand side since moving out to full-back.
The £50 million man has struck up an excellent partnership with Saka and it was on display once again tonight.
Arsenal endured a torrid start to the second half as Elijah Adebayo and Ross Barkley handed the Hatters a 3-2 lead.
It was short-lived though as Kai Havertz levelled the game up once again on the hour mark.
The Gunners eventually found a crucial goal in the 97th minute as Declan Rice popped up with a last-minute header. While Arsenal were once again way below their best, Arteta’s side have picked up a useful habit of winning games.
