Town bettered the hosts on nearly every statistic bar the one that mattered as Luke Molyneux grabbed a late winner after David Ferguson had cancelled out Sam Hoskins' opener. Whilst Cobblers played well for the most part, poor finishing again let them down. Here are our player ratings from Victoria Park...
9. Sam Hoskins
Carried a constant threat for Cobblers and may well have left with the match ball on another day. Home stopper Killip clawed away his early curler and then was at full stretch to tip wide, but there was no stopping his sweetly-struck volley three minutes into the second-half... 7.5 CHRON STAR MAN
10. Mitch Pinnock
Heavily involved in the game which has not always been the case this season, and it was his long throw that saw Hoskins fire in. But for the equaliser he was attracted to the ball, leaving Sterry with acres of room to swing in a cross... 6
11. Kion Etete
Continues to work hard and toil away up front, but at the moment it's just not happening for him in front of goal. Fine defensive block denied him in the first-half and then got it all wrong when trying to set up Connolly, allowing Pools to win it on the break... 6
