Luton enjoyed a 2-1 victory over Peterborough United at Kenilworth Road on Good Friday.
The hosts led through Jake Richards’ goal on 15 minutes, before Jordan Clark doubled the advantage early in the second period. Although Posh pulled one back when Jimmy-Jay Morgan headed in, Town held and to find out how the Hatters players rated on the afternoon, see below.
1. Josh Keeley: 7.5
Didn't face too many shots in the first period as the Peterborough attacker's radars were off and looked like he had done enough to prevent Leonard from drawing the visitors level when rushing out to meet him and get a slight glove on his dink, Odoffin completing the clearance. However, quickly infuriated that referee Searle whistled for a spotkick as his trailing leg took out the United player afterwards, but then saw justice served by guessing correctly to save the tame attempt. Able to watch on for most of the second period, bar gathering a cross slightly unconvincingly, which will make his lack of a clean sheet even more jarring, given no chance by Morgan's close range header.

2. Nigel Lonwijk: 7.5
Continues to turn in some consistent displays now having been moved out of his right back berth, as had a fairly quiet first period, with United's main attacks coming down their right hand side. Took up a good position before the break as he nodded Lawrence's cross back to Wells for an opportunity which was charged down, as did most of his best work after the interval, meeting some crosses into the box with some powerful headers away. Unlike against Exeter recently, took the decision to get stuck in when one-on-one with his man too, sliding in committedly to clear the danger. Thankfully able to run off what appeared a slight injury in the closing stages as well. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
3. Hakeem Odoffin: 8
His return to full fitness has been an absolute godsend for the Hatters as yet again he was terrific in the centre of the Hatters' back three. Early blow to the head saw him require a bandage to carry on playing, while a shame that his brilliant goal-line clearance was spoiled by referee Searle, who whistled for a penalty instead, although Keeley then came to the rescue. Both before and after the break, his aerial prowess was noticeable, one commanding header sending Lawrence away on the left to set up the second goal. Threw himself in the way of a United shot when Walsh was caught out, as unsurprisingly had the most defensive contributions on the day. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
4. Kal Naismith: 8
Easily his best performance in a while as, refreshed from the international break, looked to dominate, with some decisively towering headers to get the ball away. Grabbed an assist for the opener, although not sure he knew too much about it, his pass forward to Clark missed by the midfielder, but not Richards who went through to score. Confident to put some fine moves together on the left, particularly in the second period, as despite the odd scary moment, used his experience well to keep things calm, especially when United pulled one back. Found Shofowoke a tough cookie late on, but once he picked up an important booking to stop his charge forward, went on to have the measure of him. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
