Luton picked up their first home win of the Premier League season on Saturday when beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Kenilworth Road.
The Hatters led through Teden Mengi’s 72nd minute strike, before seeing Eagles winger Michael Olise equalise within a matter of seconds.
Substitute Jacob Brown then slid home Chiedozie Ogbene’s cross to win it in the closing stages and to find out how the Town players rated on the afternoon, see below.
5. Gabe Osho: 9.5
Crazy to think he was starting just a fourth game in the top flight such is the manner in which he has taken to the new level already. His ability on the ball has added another dimension for Luton in possession as he is happy to come out of defence and always look for a team-mate. However, his defensive duties were on point too, with one magnificent towering header away as Palace went long in the closing stages. Photo: Liam Smith
6. Amari'i Bell: 7
Having been out for so long it was always going to take him a bit of time to get used to things at this level once more, especially when facing a player like Olise. Bar the odd moment in the first period he was handling him well, also unleashing a terrific shot from 40 yards that Johnstone had to gather. Once Town led 1-0, he should have taken one for the team as Olise got on the ball to drive away on Palace's right, although there was no doubting the finish was top, top class. Photo: Liam Smith
7. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu: 7
Recalled to the starting line-up as Nakamba was absent due to injury and he made sure he got about his Palace opponents, trying to stay as disciplined as possible in Town’s midfield. The odd erratic moment aside, he managed to retain possession and press when the chance arose, making sure that Luton were still well in the game when withdrawn on the hour mark. Photo: Liam Smith
8. Ross Barkley: 9
Looks fit, strong, durable and showing the kind of form that made him such a talent earlier in his career when playing for Everton, Chelsea and England. Always open to receive the ball and take some of the pressure off his team-mates, while his range of passing is quite magnificent, one to send Doughty away on the right drawing gasps of admiration. Once more played his part in Luton’s goal by picking out Ogbene to deliver the assist. With more still to come, he could be some signing. Photo: Liam Smith
