NAKAMBA: Luton’s on-loan Zimbabwean international on ‘important’ victory over Swansea

By Luton Today


Town’s on-loan Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba pointed to what he felt was an ‘important’ victory at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, as Luton saw off Swansea City 1-0.

After a run of one league win in five, with three draws, the Hatters picked up a crucial three points to bolster their play-off hopes courtesy of Carlton Morris’s first half goal.

Nakamba, who was getting his third successive 90 minutes for Town, and fourth in six outings, played a pivotal role in the triumph, finishing top of the successful tackle count, with six to his name.

It means he has the highest average per game among the Luton squad now, with 3.4, despite having only signed in January.

The Zimbabwean international also used the ball tidily as well, with an 85.2% passing accuracy, although his shooting did let him down, firing one effort so far over the bar in the second period that it landed on the Kenny End roof.

However, writing on Twitter about the game, Nakamba said: “Important home win today.”

His tweet gained plenty of reaction on social media, as @LTFCShirts said: “Quality again Marvelous.”
