Luton made it back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season as they edged a five goal thriller at Sheffield United on Boxing Day.
Alfie Doughty had put the visitors ahead in the first half, before the Blades hit back during the second period to lead 2-1, Oli McBurnie and Anel Ahmedhodzic on target.
However, Jack Robinson and Anis Slimane then turned two Carlton Morris crosses into their own net as Town triumphed 3-2 and to find out how the Hatters rated on the afternoon, see below.

5. Amari’i Bell: 7.5
Continued his return to form against Newcastle with another good display in the Town back three. Stuck to his defensive duties well, reading the game well to make five interceptions in total. With Luton's players showing some real bravery to come back from 2-1 down, he made some incisive forays forward, able to send over some dangerous crosses into the box. Switched out to wingback in the latter stages with Doughty making way. Photo: Alex Pantling
So effective in the opening 45 minutes as he looked dangerous every single occasion the Hatters found him on the right. Almost got away when found by Lokonga, the next time he skipped past Hamer to somehow squeeze a shot through the legs of Foderingham for a first ever Premier League goal. Picked out again, he cut on to his left, seeing another goalbound attempt deflected away. Corner headed over by Barkley, but United wised up in the second period as they were able to prevent him having as much of an influence. Photo: Michael Regan
His return to the starting line-up from a lengthy hamstring injury has coincided with back-to-back Premier League wins. Excellent once more in both aspects of the game, keeping possession when Luton needed to retain the ball, also delivering a wonderful raking pass to Doughty, before finding the wingback for the opener. When Town were under pressure after the break, he put his body on the line to make one stunning block to stop Lowe scoring. Produced some excellent sliding challenges as well in yet another terrific display. Photo: Michael Regan
Midfielder’s undoubted class and composure on the ball was a huge part of Luton’s excellent start to the game as they wrested control from the hosts, putting them on the back foot as Town were able to keep hold of possession. Went close with a header from Doughty's corner, but was a different story in the second period as Luton had to show real fight and determination when falling behind. Barkley played his part then too, getting stuck in as the Hatters bounced back to triumph. Photo: George Wood
