Luton Town 'let themselves down' in the second half of their play-off semi-final first leg at Sunderland last weekend, according to Gabe Osho - and they were determined to avoid a repeat in the return game on Tuesday. Sunderland took a 2-1 lead to Kenilworth Road after coming from behind to win at the Stadium of Light, with their slick attacking football leaving Luton chasing shadows.
But it was a different story in midweek as Luton used their strength and height advantage to great effect, winning 2-0 on home soil and 3-2 on aggregate to book a place in next Saturday's Championship play-off final at Wembley. Osho admits Luton let their standards slip in that first game, but says they made up for it in the second.
"I think we let ourselves down in the second half [at Sunderland], but we spoke about it literally straight after the game," said the defender, who prodded home Luton's first goal from a corner in the second leg. "We knew we had [the return] game coming, it was going to be at home, we know the way we play would favour us in this as opposed to the way they play at their place.
