Shaved the post with an early header before Cambridge cut Cobblers open down his side for the breakthrough. Hardly had any defending to do otherwise and whipped in a couple of superb crosses at the other end... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton

Much more like his normal self after an off night in midweek. Dropped between the centre-backs and instigated a lot of Town's play from deep. Subbed with an injury late on, possibly cramp... 7 Photo: Pete Norton

Invariably the best player on the pitch regardless of the opposition and he was absolutely that here. Ran the show, particularly second half, and everything went through him.

Cobblers fans should enjoy him over these final nine games because he'll be playing Championship football - at least - next season... 8 CHRON STAR MAN Photo: Pete Norton
