Luton saw their five game unbeaten run in all competitions ended by Sheffield United on Saturday. After a goalless first half, the Hatters conceded twice early in the second period, Rhian Brewster and Jack Robinson on target, while they had to play the final half an hour with 10 men, Reece Burke sent off. To find out how the visitors rated on the afternoon, see below.
5. Sonny Bradley (STAR MAN): 6
With United dominating, he organised the visitors’ back-line well as they limited chances in the first period. Unlucky to see his goal ruled out for offside, but despite making some good clearances, Town were second best after the break.
6. Kal Naismith: 5.5
Found Ndiaye a tricky proposition as the attacker was a real livewire for the hosts. Wasn’t able to get out to Brewster and prevent his opening strike, as Town went on to concede almost immediately afterwards too.
7. Henri Lansbury: 5
Restored to the starting line-up for Clark but the few times he got on the ball, wasn’t able to do much with it as Luton usually ended up giving it away. Showed his threat from set-pieces, but Bradley had gone just too early.
8. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu: 5
Neat and tidy enough, but Luton’s midfield was always second best against an experienced United outfit as they were unable to ever get a significant hold of the ball and find their attackers with any regularity.
