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.
9. Jake Richards: 7
Preferred to Kodua once more to play just off Wells during the opening 45 minutes, as he was alert when Naismith’s pass was left by Clark as well as the visiting defence to go through and show great calmness to nutmeg Bass for his fourth of the campaign. Almost arrived on cue for a second only to see his effort blocked away by a defender, but was kept quiet by Peterborough for the remainder of the first half. After the break, he did start to get some joy in an attacking sense as Town really ought to have scored more than the two they finished with. Switched off once defensively late on, although thankfully it didn't cost the Hatters as the shot flew wide of the target. Photo: David Horn
10. Emilio Lawrence: 8
Gets better with every outing, showing his intentions early on when he cut in to send a shot over the bar, while happy to go on the outside of his defender as well, crossing for Wells' opportunity. After the break, the Scotland U21 international had a real purple patch, with all of Town's best moves coming through him, finding Clark for two attempts that weren't converted. Did get the assist he deserved when latching on to Odoffin's header and teeing up Clark again who stretched to make it 2-0. Another fine delivery saw Wells go close, as it was a real shame to see him taken off after 65 minutes, the swap instantly hindering the hosts' attacking threat for the closing stages.

11. Nahki Wells: 7.5
Involved in a lot of Luton’s good attacking play, as he began an early move that saw Lawrence find some space and fire over. Crossed for Richards as well, before another lobbed effort was acrobatically caught by Bass as Town couldn't double their lead before the break. After the interval, the striker took up some good positions inside the area, picked out by Lawrence's deep cross, with his header blocked and follow up well defended too. Couldn't quite turn in another left-wing delivery when he was crowded out, but part of the move that saw van den Berg miss a glaring opportunity. Understandable that he was taken off due to a recent hamstring strain, but the Hatters missed him. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
12. Devante Cole: (SUB): 4.5
Brought on when Town were on top and appeared to have a great chance to score his first goal for the club, but it was a move that didn't work out at all as he couldn't occupy the visiting defence in the same way that Wells had done, Posh quickly able to play around the Hatters and look far more of an attacking threat. Control was off at times too as with just eight touches during his cameo, the January signing continues to frustrate the Luton fans with his lack of threat in the final third. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
