Despite so many injuries, and some players suffering from tiredness at the end of a busy period, Cobblers dug in for three priceless points. Here are our player ratings from the Pirelli Stadium...
9. Samy Chouchane
The presence of Hondermarck and Shaw allowed him to push forward and not worry about the physical side as much. Had a quieter game than many of his team-mates but pressed well and still put in a solid effort... 7 Photo: Pete Norton
10. Sam Hoskins
Wonderful achievement to hit 400 games for the club, just the fourth man to do so, and he marked it with a late winner. Looked as sharp as he has done in a while. Missed an earlier chance but no mistake when it really counted, connecting cleanly with Pinnock's cross even if the finish owed to some fortune... 8 Photo: Pete Norton
11. Tom Eaves
Again got through a ton of work at the top of the pitch. His flick on sent Hoskins away for a good chance. Chased lost causes and tussled with defenders. It might not be flashy or exciting but it's vital work for the team. He had nothing left by full-time... 7.5 Photo: Pete Norton
12. Tariqe Fosu
Ball so nearly fell for him to score shortly after coming on. Played the pass into Pinnock for the winner... 7 Photo: Pete Norton
