Luton fans label new Hatters signing as a ‘class act’ after ‘superb’ full debut
Makosso impresses Kenilworth Road faithful during Pompey win
New Luton defender Christ Makosso has already been hailed as a ‘class act’ by Town supporters following his impressive full debut during Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Portsmouth at Kenilworth Road.
Having played two U21 matches and just 45 minutes of Championship football since arriving in Bedfordshire from Belgian second tier side RWD Molenbeek in the January transfer window, the 20-year-old centre half was thrust into the heat of the battle as the Hatters hosted Pompey in what was a must-win clash at the weekend.
Thanks to Makosso’s defensive efforts up against the visitors’ star man in Josh Murphy, Luton managed to come through the contest with a massive three points as well, the Congo international showing a fantastic turn of pace, something that the Town defence has been lacking. He also displayed some excellent positional sense to deny Colby Bishop at the far post in the second period, letting his character shine through when celebrating with the Hatters supporters after winning a goal kick and at the full time whistle as well.
