Luton enjoyed an excellent 3-0 victory at Burton Albion on Saturday.
Lasse Nordas opened the scoring when he opened his account for the club, while Milli Alli doubled the lead on the stroke of half time. After the break, Zack Nelson bagged his first league goal for the Hatters and to see how Town’s players rated on the afternoon, see below.
9. Zack Nelson (STAR MAN): 9
The academy graduate was given his first league start of the season and he was involved from early on, collecting Saville's pass and then finding Nordas who did the rest. Became more and more of a threat as the game progressed, displaying the confidence he has often done when coming through the ranks, having a pop from 25 yards which crashed against the post, with another attempt saved by Amissah only for Alli to hammer in the rebound. When Burton had their best spell after the break, the youngster wrested the initiative back and put the result beyond doubt himself with a great run and unerring finish to make it 3-0. Could well be his breakthrough performance. Photo: Liam Smith
10. Jerry Yates: 7.5
Restored to the starting line-up and was full of running from the very first whistle as he charged down keeper Amissah’s clearance inside the opening 60 seconds which set the tone for the Hatters' press. Missed a gilt-edged opportunity in the first period to open his account, somehow prodding wide of an open goal from close range when Alli's slightly deflected cross dropped to him. Good spin inside the area led to Luton's second goal, while a clever near post run took two defenders away for Nelson to make the points safe on the hour mark. Photo: Liam Smith
11. Lasse Nordas: 8.5
Partnered Yates upfront and didn't have to wait t long for the moment he had been craving, as with 18 minutes on the clock, he was picked out by Nelson and went for goal, getting the fortune he wanted, seeing his low shot taking a nick and going through the flimsy dive of Amissah. From there his confidence was clearly buoyed, the Norwegian a real handful for the Brewers defence, having another volley clawed away by the home stopper. Held the ball up well yet again, as a great run forward and vision saw the forward return the favour for Nelson to make it 3-0. Photo: Liam Smith
12. Nahki Wells (SUB): 7
On for Yates with just over 15 minutes to go and alongside Nordas, he was busy from the word go, not wasting a single pass. Tried to get his name on the scoresheet for the first time in a Luton shirt as well with a fierce drive that was tipped over the bar by Amissah. Photo: Liam Smith
