Carlos Corberan has now got Huddersfield Town believing again

The former Marcelo Bielsa protege at Leeds saw his side pick up their first away win since July as they stripped Swansea of their unbeaten record in the Championship at the Liberty Stadium .

The Terriers won just three times as they were relegated from the Premier League in 2018-19 and almost went down again before finishing 18th last term.

“It has been two tough seasons at Huddersfield and I could feel that in the players. They arrived for pre-season as the team that had lost more games this year than any other in the four divisions,” said Corberan.

“I’m here to change that situation. I want the players to feel proud of what they are doing and the fans to be proud of them. I was happy about the mentality of my team from the first minute. We knew it was going to be a tough game because of the quality of Swansea.

“We defended too much in the first half, but in the second we broke their press and we were better. We started to play more in their half and the players trusted in themselves and in the work we have done.”

Harry Toffolo put the Terriers ahead after 23 minutes only for Andre Ayew to level from the penalty spot 10 minutes later.

Josh Koroma netted his first goal for Town in the 67th minute.

Having been forced back for nearly all of the opening 20 minutes, Huddersfield finally pressed and scored from their first corner three minutes later.

Juninho Bacuna exchanged passes in a short corner move with Carel Eiting, ran to the edge of the area, and fired in a fierce right-footed shot. Toffolo then guided the ball past Freddie Woodman to give his side the lead against the run of play.

Swansea were level in the 33rd minute after referee Tony Harrington ruled Ben Hamer had impeded Smith.

Huddersfield were not happy, but Ayew was delighted to be able to celebrate his 100th appearance for the club with his 32nd goal.

A catalogue of misses from both sides was eventually broken when Koroma hit the target from inside the box to give Huddersfield the points.
