CARLOS CORBERAN hailed the "personality and determination" of his Huddersfield Town players as they ended their long wait for a win against Swansea City.

The Terriers stunned the promotion-chasing Swans with three goals in seven second-half minutes to pick up their first win since December 29.

A goal from Lewis O'Brien and a double for Duane Holmes early in the second half sent the hosts on their way to a 4-1 victory at the John Smith's Stadium.

"It was really important for us to get the win," he said.

"The performance was really important for us as well because that is how we get the results.

"In the whole team, I cannot find a player who did not compete with the right mentality that we needed to compete."

Huddersfield led through Fraizer Campbell but were pegged back on the stroke of half time by a superb free-kick from Conor Hourihane.

On seven occasions this season, Town have opened the scoring and failed to pick up all three points.

Corberan was delighted with how his side responded in the second half with O'Brien and Holmes putting the hosts 4-1 up by the 55th minute.

"In these moments, when you have negative experiences previously then you can have doubts," added Corberan.

"But for me the confidence, personality and determination of the players is going to be key to face these situations."

O'Brien's deflected strike on 48 minutes proved decisive and was his first goal on home soil, with all of his previous goals for the club coming away from the John Smith's Stadium.

"It is always positive for one young player and someone like him," added Corberan.

"He is a player who is always putting in extraordinary work for the team."
