THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United fought back to earn a 2-2 draw in a pulsating clash at Luton Town.
JAMIE CUMMING
Confusion at the back between the goalkeeper and Elliott Moore ultimately led to the second Hatters goal, but a brave stop towards the end ensured United kept a point – 6.5
PETER KIOSO
One of his best games for the U’s, in particular from an attacking perspective with his overlapping runs. BOOKED – 7.5
ELLIOTT MOORE
Mix-up between himself and Cumming didn’t prove to be costly, and he was withdrawn late on with a knee problem. BOOKED – 6.5
BEN NELSON
Classy with the ball at his feet, sending opponents one way and then the other. Pretty solid defensively too – 7.5
CIARON BROWN
Reserved display from left back as Kioso bombed on down the other side, so brought a balance to the defensive unit – 7
RUBEN RODRIGUES
At fault for the Hatters opener after taking too long on the ball, and was almost caught out in possession again later in the half. A neat finish for the equaliser and was involved in a lot of good play going forward though – 7.5
WILL VAULKS
Showed great determination and leadership to nip in and win the ball, particularly during the second half – 7
IDRIS EL MIZOUNI
Undoubtedly his best game in a United shirt. Powerfully motored up the pitch and unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions. Clever assist for Tyler Goodrham. MAN OF THE MATCH. BOOKED – 8
OWEN DALE
First league start of the season following his impressive cameo against Burnley, but wasn’t able to influence proceedings the way he’d have liked – 6.5
MARK HARRIS
Denied when through one-on-one with Thomas Kaminski, although the keeper did well to spread himself – 6.5
TYLER GOODRHAM
Exquisite first-time finish before half-time proved to be crucial, and capped another impressive display at this level for the 21-year-old – 8
SUBSTITUTES
Kyle Edwards (for Dale, 46)
Assisted Rodrigues by picking him out with a low cross and was a thorn in the Hatters backline throughout the second half – 8
Siriki Dembele (for Rodrigues, 74)
Liam Walsh was sent off for a reckless challenge on him, while he sent a free kick narrowly over with the last kick of the game – 7
Dane Scarlett (for Harris, 84)
Sam Long (for Moore, 90+2)
Unused: Ingram, ter Avest, Sibley, Ebiowei, Goodwin.
Substitutes who come on after the 75th minute do not get a rating.
