Luton saw their hopes of staying in the Premier League ended after a 3-1 defeat at West Ham United on Saturday.
The visitors had taken an early lead through Sambi Lokonga’s header, only to see James Ward-Prowse, Tomas Soucek and George Earthy find the net in the second period to claim all three points for the Hammers. To find out how the Hatters players rated at the London Stadium, see below.
5. Gabe Osho: 6
After getting in a muddle with Mengi which almost led to an equaliser for the hosts, he showed good judgement to not turn a cross into his own net after it flashed across goal. Like the rest of Town's back-line, was able to get through the first half unscathed, making some important clearing headers along the way, but then with Luton starting to struggle for any kind of foothold as United turned up the heat after the break, couldn't stave off the pressure, Kudus able to nip round him and set up the third.

6. Alfie Doughty: 6.5
Had a great opening to the game as his cross was absolutely inch perfect for the diving Lokonga to open the scoring and raise Town's hopes. Able to give the visitors some joy in that opening 45 minutes as another dinked delivery would have been turned home by Adebayo but for Zoma's crucial intervention. After the break he got lucky with a back header that was straight at Bowen, although still tried to attack, sliding one pass through for Chong. Made one great last-ditch block to keep the scores level, but unable to stop Kudus setting up the killer third. Photo: Liam Smith
7. Sambi Lokonga (STAR MAN): 7.5
Got the game off to the ideal start for the Hatters as he timed his run to perfection to convert Doughty's cross for a first goal in over three years and allow those visiting fans to believe they still had a chance of staying in the Premier League. Played his part in Luton getting through to the interval with the lead intact, using the ball efficiently, but United shifted their focus of attack to the wings afterwards, as despite the best efforts of the Arsenal loanee, were able to break through three times and take the points.

8. Ross Barkley: 6.5
Early booking for the midfielder as he got caught in possession and then brought down Antonio, which meant he had to be careful. If Luton were going to be able to take the sting out of the increasing nature of the Hammers attacks, they needed someone who was able to get hold of the ball and keep it, but that unfortunately wasn't an option when he pulled his calf and had to go off late in the first half. Town fans will hope that's not the last time they have seen him in a Hatters shirt. Photo: Liam Smith
