Luke Mbete in action against Notts County on Tuesday
Luke Mbete was among those to feature for a Northampton Town Under-21 side that beat Notts County 2-0 in a behind closed doors match at Sixfields on Saturday.
Mbete, on loan from Manchester City, has not played for Northampton since suffering a serious hamstring injury against Bolton in early October. First-team players James Dadge, Ali Koiki, Reuben Wyatt, Samy Chouchane, Will Hondermarck and James Wilson were also all in action in Tuesday’s game.
After a goalless first half, Cobblers took the lead shortly after the restart when Wyatt found Wilson down the right and he lifted his effort over the County goalkeeper and into the bottom left-hand corner.
Marc Richards' side added their second in the final ten minutes when Ollie Evans' shot was well saved but Joziah Barnett was on hand to score the rebound from close range.
Cobblers: Dadge, Mbete, Jenkins, Findlay, Koiki, Ronald, Wyatt, Chouchane, Dobson, Hondermarck, Wilson
Subs: Murray, Obiagwu, Rayfield, Carroll, Evans, Barnett, Licorish-Mullings
