Luton Town endured a tough afternoon as they let a 2-0 lead slip to lose 3-2 to Coventry City. Here’s a closer look at how the players performed:
1. **Thomas Kaminski (6)** – Constantly under threat in the first half, despite Luton’s two-goal cushion. Made some important saves, including one to tip over a corner, but was eventually beaten by Simms’ header and Torp’s curler. He might have done better with Simms’ late shot, which led to Wright’s winner.
2. **Victor Moses (5)** – Clattered early by Kitching, but couldn’t replicate his defensive form seen against Watford or Sunderland. Struggled as Coventry frequently attacked, and a poor pass from a corner allowed City to counter. The second half was challenging as he couldn’t keep Coventry at bay.
3. **Daiki Hashioka (6.5) – Star Man** – Key to Luton’s first-half clean sheet with solid positioning and eight clearances. His defensive presence suggested they could hold on, but Coventry’s relentless pressure ultimately overcame the back line in stoppage time.
4. **Mark McGuinness (6)** – Frustrated by some officiating decisions but put in a determined defensive shift in the first half, timing one sliding tackle perfectly. Outjumped by Simms in the lead-up to the winner, he also had his own header saved but was unable to stop Coventry’s attack after halftime.
Coventry’s relentless second-half push saw them capitalize on Luton’s vulnerabilities, leaving the Hatters disappointed with the missed opportunity.
