Luton duo Peter Kioso and Gabriel Osho both suffered League One relegation for their on-loan clubs at the weekend.

After the break, Mitchell was at fault once more, fumbling Ellis Simms’ shot allowing Jerry Yates to finish from close range, as the visiting attacker added his second late to confirm the Cobblers dropped out of the third tier after just one season.
It was the same scenario for Osho at Rochdale too, as they hosted Doncaster Rovers in need of a victory.
The visitors broke the deadlock through Taylor Richards, who then added a second just 10 minutes after the break.
