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.
5. Izzy Jones: 7
Almost got caught out early on when a long ball forward evaded his attempts to win it, but thankfully Town managed to flood bodies back and prevent United from creating an opportunity. Did tighten up after that, as he put in a good shift defensively, able to get in front of his man for one back post cross that Luton have conceded from on far too many occasions this term. Not a huge amount of opportunity to bomb forward the other way, although after the break, he sent over one cross that eventually made its way to Clark for a shot that was saved. When Posh came into the fixture more late on, was able to use his nous and help the hosts protect their single goal lead to take all three points. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
6. Liam Walsh: 7.5
After an awful few weeks on a personal note, the midfielder showed great courage to take the field for Town, earning a warm reception from the home supporters, particularly when he went over to take corners. Got straight back into the heart of things too, with some crisp passing as Luton attacked well through the middle, particularly when the Hatters were at their best after the interval. Lovely vision and threaded through ball to Wells almost led to a third goal for the Hatters and despite being caught on the ball at times in his own half, showed extreme confidence to pick his passes even when the visitors were attempting to come on strong and equalise.

7. Davy van den Berg: 7
Made his home league debut as one of three changes from the Stockport game before the international break and had a solid first half, not often wasting a pass. Almost set up a third goal after the break, sending Jones' cross into the path of Clark for a shot that was saved by the keeper. Involved in two big moments later, as he simply had to make it 3-0 when picked out following a wonderful team move, only to woefully sky over from 10 yards out. Then, with the ball appearing to have crossed the line for a throw, he stopped to remonstrate with the assistant rather than play on, Lisbie getting away to cross for Posh to make it 2-1, rightly earning an earful from his team-mates afterwards.

8. Jordan Clark (STAR MAN): 8.5
Midfielder continued his rich vein of form as in the first half he set off on a great run forward from deep that led to a half chance for Richards. Came into his own after the break, as he appeared to be on a personal mission to score. Straight away had one attempt charged down and then an instinctive lob that flew a matter of inches over the bar with Bass nowhere. Did finally get his reward when he stretched to divert Lawrence's cross into the net and make it 12 goals for the season, while had another shot that was saved by the stopper. Should have had an assist when he found van den Berg who blazed off target, as replaced in the final few minutes to keep him ready for Monday. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
