Luton left it late to pick up a massive three points following a dramatic last-gasp win over Coventry City on Saturday.
Shandon Baptiste’s goal in the 90th minute was enough for Town to triumph 1-0 as they now have their future in their own hands when heading to West Bromwich Albion in the last game of the season next weekend. To find out how the Hatters rated on the day, see below.
5. Izzy Jones: 7.5
Looked to try and get on the outside of his markers as much as possible during the first period, while after the break, he had a pop early on which was easy for Collins. With time running out, he was booked for a late kick on Eccles which had the referee not been as lenient, could have seen him become the second Hatter to be dismissed. Final ball wasn't at its best throughout the afternoon, but it was he who sent a hanging cross into the City box with 90 on the clock that led to City's comical defending and the roof coming off Kenilworth Road.

6. Liam Walsh: 8
Midfielder was by far and away the man of the match for the opening 65 minutes as once City were down to 10 men, he took the game by the scruff of the neck, running things from his deep-lying base, producing some truly wonderful passes. Victim of a thigh high challenge in the first half that went unpunished, but after the break, he almost opened the scoring with a wonderful shot from range that led to a breath-taking stop. Having just been harshly booked, he then unwisely pushed Binks who fell over theatrically and was somehow shown a red card by referee Langford which will hopefully be rescinded. Photo: David Horn
7. Lamine Fanne: 8
Kept his place in the side despite Naismith being available and it was his best showing for the Hatters so far. Although started in a deeper role, he featured in far more attacking sense throughout the afternoon, with City dropping into a more defensive formation once they were reduced to 10 men. After an early shot he failed to properly connect with, the midfielder had another that looked in all the way until a Coventry defender got in the way. Almost netted when sent through by Morris, Collins saving well, and could count himself unfortunate to make way for Clark immediately afterwards. Photo: David Horn
8. Thelo Aasgaard (STAR MAN): 8.5
Early on, he bent a wonderful ball over the top that was perfect for Alli to run on to, seeing his heels clipped by Dasilva for a red card that enabled the game to swing majorly in Luton's favour. Was always looking to get a shot off, particularly in the first half, as his low drive was kept out by Collins, who then tipped over a fierce attempt, handling another bouncing effort that was on target. After the break, had another drive deflected narrowly away, with another free-kick not coming down in time, but he kept on pressing, even when the numbers were evened up. Might have escaped to make it 2-0, only for a rare poor touch in stoppage time. Photo: David Horn
