The defeat leaves them sitting precariously above the relegation zone as second-half goals from Sonny Bradley and Elliot Lee saw the Hatters claim all three points.

Here are the match ratings from the John Smith's Stadium.

Jonas Lossl, 5: Didn't have much to do. Looked nervy following Luton Town's opener.

Harry Toffolo, 6: Struggled to create much when getting forward, didn't have a lot to do in defence as Luton picked their moments well.

Jon Stankovic, 7: Probably Huddersfield's best player on the night. Defended well in the first half, could have done better with a header at the other end of the pitch.

Christopher Schindler, 5: Has been key in helping the Terriers remain resolute at the back in recent outings but allowed Sonny Bradley to get free for the opener.

Trevoh Chalobah, 6: Did well at right-back once again but his offensive play was not incisive enough.

Lewis O'Brien, 5: Had one of Huddersfield's only two shots on target but was subbed with just over an hour played.

Jonathan Hogg, 6: In the first half was everywhere to break up play but was sacrificed as the Terriers were forced to bring on more attacking threat at 1-0 down.

Karlan Grant, 6: Was constantly hounded out by Luton in the final third and unable to help the hosts get on the scoresheet.

Emile Smith-Rowe, 6: Caused Luton some problems in the first half but missed a great chance at 1-0 down which he should have scored.

Chris Willock, 5: Had plenty of opportunities to get the ball in the box but dithered in possession too much.

Substitutes: Steve Mounie (Campbell 54), 5.

Andy King (Hogg 64), 6.

Juninho Bacuna (O'Brien 64), 6.

Alex Pritchard (Willock 75), 6.
