Luton Town ran up their biggest win of the campaign when thrashing Wycombe Wanderers 4-0 at Kenilworth Road on Boxing Day.
Gideon Kodua scored twice in the first half to set the Hatters on their way, as goals from Jordan Clark and Shayden Morris in the second period settled the triumph. To find out how the hosts rated on the afternoon, see below.
5. Teden Mengi: 8.5
Got the crowd going early on when he went steaming into a 50/50 challenge and briefly brought what was a quiet atmosphere around Kenilworth Road to life, the home fans loving his commitment to the cause. Began plenty of the Hatters moves when he took possession from Keeley and more often than not found a team-mate in front of him, the perfect example for Luton's opening goal as he started the attack that saw Kodua break the deadlock. Continued in that vein as the game wore on, as he chose the right option to help break through Wycombe's press, while also made a good block when the visitors threatened slightly after the break, quickly snuffing out their momentum.

6. Liam Walsh (STAR MAN): 9
Simply superb for the entire contest, behind Luton’s opening goal when his midfield-splitting ball saw Fanne set up Kodua. Made some lovely crossfield passes out to Kodua throughout the first period for the attacker to go close with, while took some good corners too, one almost leading to a second goal. Broke into the box well himself to meet Kodua’s delivery, also dinking in a clever free kick that Clark volleyed over. After the break, looked left for Bramall as well, as it was no surprise to see him complete the most passes with 60 and make the most dribbles too. Was just as good when doing the ugly side of the game, winning nine out of 11 duels, including both of his aerial battles as he has set himself a high bar now. Photo: David Horn
7. Lamine Fanne: 8
Played a big role in the Hatters moving ahead as he took Walsh’s pass and spun before advancing forwards and then found Kodua to fire into the net and break the deadlock. So close to making it 2-0 himself when his shot beat Norris only to hit Casey on the line and then hit the post before being cleared away. Continued to be a threat both in possession and when within sight of the goal, lashing over from 20 yards in second period, while with a 92 percent completion rate, he was the most accurate passer on the field. Part of a double change made by Wilshere to save his legs for Monday, going off just before Luton had their third. Photo: David Horn
8. Jordan Clark: 8
Captain for the day in place of the injured Naismith as early on, a wonderful turn away from his man saw the midfielder spot the run of Wells who went close. Might have scored himself in the first half only to get his connection all wrong from Walsh’s free kick as the ball sailed harmlessly over the bar. Eager to try his luck from anywhere and everywhere it seemed, a few close range shots blocked, before unable to catch Norris out with an ambitious attempt from range missing the target. Made no mistake when the ball dropped to his left foot from Kodua's cross just eight yards out though, slamming into the net and celebrating with real gusto. Photo: David Horn
