Luton bounced back from Saturday's defeat at West Bromwich Albion with a 1-0 victory over Barnsley last night. Defender Amari'i Bell scored the only goal of the game after four minutes, before the Hatters defence dug in to secure a first away clean sheet of the season. To find out how the visitors rated on the evening, see below.
1. Simon Sluga: 7
After the pressure he came under when Barnsley visited Kenilworth Road a few weeks back, couldn’t have imagined an easier afternoon at Oakwell, with just the one shot on target. Distribution was good as well.
2. Martin Cranie: 8
Kept his place at right back despite Bree’s availability and gave another dependable display as Town shut out their hosts. A Zidane-esque turn inside his own half was one of the highlights of the whole encounter.
3. Rhys Norrington-Davies: 7.5
Didn’t get a great deal of chances to overlap on the left hand side on this occasion in what was a tight game. Occasionally caught out of position, particularly when the Tykes should have levelled at the back post.
4. Matty Pearson: 8
One of a number up against his former club as he came into his own when the game opened up in the latter stages, making sure that Barnsley couldn’t get any openings. Marshalled Chaplin excellently all afternoon.
