Cobblers are now five unbeaten in the league and remain in third ahead of next week’s big game at fourth-placed Bradford City. Here are our player ratings from Priestfield…
9. Mitch Pinnock
The final ball didn't always come off for him but it was not for the want of trying, and was involved in the crucial second goal with a nice pass into Hoskins. Beauty of a cross saw Bowie nod wide... 7.5 Photo: Pete Norton
10. Sam Hoskins
Scored one and made another as he returned to his best. Brilliant finish to fire Cobblers ahead and it was all his own work after picking off a loose pass. Great play to set up Bowie's clincher late on. Only negative was the needless yellow in stoppage-time which rules him out of next week's big game at Bradford... 8.5 CHRON STAR MAN Photo: Pete Norton

Gave Town an extra shot of energy at a time when they were being put under pressure... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
