Luton's on-loan Aston Villa midfielder Nakamba hails 'amazing atmosphere' after play-off victory

Luton Town’s on-loan midfielder Marvelous Nakamba praised the ‘amazing atmosphere’ during Tuesday night's 2-0 victory over Sunderland that saw the Hatters reach the Championship play-off final at Wembley later this month.

The 29-year-old, who moved to Luton from Aston Villa in the January transfer window, has been a superb addition to the ranks, with 19 appearances in that time.

Becoming a clear favourite with supporters, Nakamba was at his dominant best in midweek when a terrific display, including eight tackles, led to goals from Gabe Osho and Tom Lockyer sealing a 3-2 aggregate victory which put the Hatters through to the final where they will face Coventry City.

Tweeting after the triumph, Nakamba wrote: “A massive win and amazing atmosphere at Kenilworth Road.

"See you soon at Wembley.”
