Luton Town striker Danny Hylton helped fire his team back to the top of SkyBet EFL League Two... but it was eight month old Hatters fan Beatrix Meynell-Mendes who hogged the headlines.

His goal celebration with the youngster was captured by the satellite TV cameras covering the fixture against Barnet last Saturday evening (March 24)

Hylton made a bee-line towards Beatrix, who was in the arms of dad Robin with wife Clare. They were watching in the Kenilworth Road end as the Hatters secured a valuable 2-0 win.

And after receiving an e-mail from Beatrix (with help from dad) the Hatters' front man invited the Meynell-Mendes family to the club's training ground for a proper catch-up.

He also presented Beatrix, who was at her first game, with a replica home kit and a match-ball signed by the Luton squad.

Hylton had a lot to celebrate. The goal which came two minutes after half time was his eighteenth of the season, and his first since returning from injury.
