Luton hit back from their 5-0 loss to Barnsley on Saturday by triumphing 2-1 against Huddersfield Town in midweek.
The hosts went in front through Jake Richards’ first half strike, and although Leo Castledine fired in a magnificent free kick after the break, Jerry Yates slid home the winner shortly afterwards to claim all three points. To find out how Town’s players rated, see below.
9. Lamine Fanne (STAR MAN): 9
Was getting involved in the first half as the Hatters started promisingly, able to help Luton's midfield dominate proceedings for much of the opening 45 minutes. After the break, he fired over from the edge of the box, before Huddersfield began to assume control and eventually equalised. A huge reason behind the Hatters responding to that leveller though, as he dragged the hosts upfield at times, his influence growing with every passing moment. Saw his snapshot saved by Goodman, with his rebound rolling in until Yates slid in to grab the goal himself. Tested the keeper again afterwards in what was a terrific performance as he continues to flourish under Wilshere. Photo: David Horn
10. Jake Richards: 8
Teenager was recalled to the starting line-up after being on the bench at Barnsley, as he returned to his inverted right wing role and it worked a treat, having not only the confidence, but also the technique to fire a loose ball goalwards from outside the box as it took a nick to fly past Goodman and open the scoring. Almost had a second moments later only for a defender to get in the way, while after the break, couldn't carry on after picking up a knock, but hopefully he'll be okay for Bolton this weekend.

11. Jerry Yates: 7
Forward had put in plenty of effort, but not much was coming off as, faced with two imposing centre halves, his hold-up play wasn't always quite at its best. Early chance on the volley was turned behind by Goodman, while another effort from the following set-piece ended in a fresh air shot. Having struggled for goals so far, popped up with the winner by sliding in to ensure Fanne's shot crossed the line and hopefully he can now go on a run to become the marksman Town fans wanted when he joined in the summer.

12. Jacob Brown (SUB): 7.5
Replaced Richards early in the second half as he gave Luton another attacking outlet, going wide to begin with, but then with Yates off the field, moved centrally for the closing stages. Almost helped create a third which could have settled proceedings, escaping to pick up Saville's pass, just over-hitting his cross, with fellow sub Morris unable to turn it in. Expertly helped Town run down the clock in stoppage time too as the Hatters saw out a much-needed victory. Photo: David Horn
