matches.

The Bermudian striker, reportedly booed by Stoke fans recently after a lean spell, scored an injury time header on Saturday as the Second Division leaders beat Luton Town 3-1 to maintain their one-point lead at the top.

Lightbourne hit his fourth goal of the season on Tuesday night when Stoke won 2-0 away to Burnley. He followed up on a effort from Graham Kavanagh to score with a left-footed shot two minutes into the second half. Ex-Blackburn striker Peter Thorpe wrapped up the points 15 minutes later when he met a cross from Kavanagh and scored with a firm header.

The other Bermudian in England, Manchester City's Shawn Goater, failed to add to his 10 goals this season as City lost 1-0 away to third-from-bottom Wycombe Wanderers.
