Luton ran out 3-0 winners at AFC Wimbledon on Easter Monday after turning in a brilliant performance.
The Hatters led through Kasey Palmer’s first half goal, while Ali Al-Hamadi and Jake Richards were both on target in the second period and to find out how the Town players rated on the afternoon, see below.
5. Izzy Jones: 8.5
With Luton attacking at will throughout the whole game, it gave him ample opportunity to cross the halfway line, something that had been lacking from his game recently, as he took the chance to do so, picking out Palmer who half volleyed wide. Confidence boosted, he was able to go on two breaks through the middle of the pitch, one leading to a Lawrence shot that was saved, and then dodging some challenges to have a go himself, tamely through to Bishop. Went closer in the second half, seeing the Dons keeper parry his curling attempt away, also gathering a cross that was destined for Al-Hamadi. Defensively solid as well, with not much getting past him all game. Photo: David Horn
6. Liam Walsh: 8
His kind of game, seeing plenty of the ball with Luton the better side from virtually the first whistle and carrying that on until the final one. Sharp and crisp with his passing, the midfielder always looked forward which allowed Palmer and co to shine. Also did his bit in landing on several second balls to make sure the Hatters dominated proceedings, s meaning Wimbledon weren't ever able to get much of a foothold. Corner was headed against the bar by Odoffin late in the second period, while after the break he had three shots inside the opening 10 minutes, one daisycutter flashing just wide, another saved and then put his best chance over the top from outside the box.

7. Jordan Clark: 8
Deployed slightly deeper on this occasion due to Palmer's recall to the side, but was still able to help weave together plenty of good moves for the Hatters, one gloriously judged outside of the boot throughball sending Lawrence away on the left for an opportunity which was saved. Although didn't really threaten adding to his own tally of 12 for the campaign, found himself constantly involved in most of Town's attacking moments, as it was his pass into Al-Hamadi that saw the striker hold it up for Richards to put the result beyond doubt with the third.

8. Kasey Palmer (STAR MAN): 9.5
Where do you start? Has to be up there with the best individual attacking displays for the Hatters this term, as he had the game by the scruff of its neck from early on. Picked out Wells for a glorious chase inside five minutes, but then took it upon himself to break the deadlock, in stunning fashion too, dancing around three markers in the box to find the top corner. Booed mercilessly from then on, but clearly relished the attention, with a no-look pass and smile to the fans who were on his back. Found Lawrence and Jones for two shots, while sent another over himself. Carried on after the break, denied by Bishop after an almighty charge upfield and was behind almost all of Luton's best moves. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Photo: David Horn
