Luton enjoyed a 2-0 triumph at Peterborough United on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors took the lead inside three minutes through Jordan Clark, and then doubled their advantage when Liam Kelly turned Kasey Palmer’s cross past his own keeper just 51 seconds after the break. To find out how the Hatters’ players rated on the day, see below.
9. Jordan Clark: 7.5
Recovered from the illness that saw him miss Tuesday night, and was switched on from the opening whistle, quickly taking Johnston's pass to find Palmer, not stopping to admire his work, but going again, and when picked out by his team-mate's through ball, displaying an exquisite first touch to face Bass one-on-one, easily slipping his shot past the keeper. Didn't have any further opportunities to add to his tally after that, as following a fairly tame first half, the Hatters were then very much on the back foot having moved 2-0 in front. Battled hard in the midfield areas, and when Luton came through the tough moments, almost had an assist of his own when finding Lawrence for a late attempt. Photo: David Lowndes
10. Kasey Palmer: 8
On the left flank once more, as he carried on his fine form, ensuring Luton made the perfect start by racing out of the blocks in both halves. From the opening whistle, he took Clark's pass, displaying great strength and determination to get away from his marker, who clearly had a grip on his shirt, demonstrating the vision to perfectly put out the run of Clark, who broke the deadlock. Was well marshalled after that, until the start of the second period, when he sped past Johnston as if he wasn't there, sending in a dangerous cross that deflected off Kelly to wrongfoot Bass and make it 2-0. Continued to work hard afterwards before being replaced for the final five minutes. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
11. Callum Marshall: 6.5
Kept his place to start a second successive match for the Hatters, allowing Wells to be on the bench, but with Luton moving ahead so early on, it stunted the kind of impact he could have, as Town were happy enough keeping the ball in defence and midfield during large periods of the first half. Did win a free kick that saw Donley curl over, while it was more of the same after the break, as Luton doubled their lead and then had to withstand some fierce pressure from United. Very few touches in the end, but did put himself about and harry the Posh defenders, before making way for Wells with an hour gone. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
12. Nahki Wells (SUB): 7
Replaced Marshall with an hour gone and Luton having to cling on to their advantage somewhat. Once they had done that, and got through the best that Peterborough could throw at them, the visitors were able to spend the final stages of the game in the United half, going close to scoring themselves, Wells hitting the post, although the flag had been raised for a tight offside.
