Huddersfield Town 3 Blackpool 2 - player ratings


The defending was not always of the highest quality but the Terriers showed great spirit and produced three high-quality finishes to claim a 3-2 win.
Matty Pearson - not easy dealing with Gary Madine, who beat him in the air for his goal, but he did a decent job all things considered, moving into the centre of the back three 6

Hide AdTom Lees - picked up a very concerning injury just after the half hour which knocked him out. he was at fault for the opening goal, but has been a key player this season, so Huddersfield will be hoping he is back soon 5
