Sheff Wed 1 Huddersfield Town 3: Terriers into top six

It was a deserved third league win of the season for Simon Grayson’s side, who took the lead through Oliver Norwood when he followed up his first-half penalty that goalkeeper Chris Kirkland had saved.

Lee Novak headed home Town’s second two minutes later and although Wednesday defender Reda Johnson headed home before the break, Adam Clayton converted another controversial penalty in the 71st minute to condemn Dave Jones’ men to a third straight defeat.

Huddersfield defender Joel Lynch was shown a straight red card for his flying first-half lunge on Michail Antonio and Wednesday right-back Joe Mattock was dismissed on the stroke of half-time for a second yellow card as a rip-roaring derby threatened to combust.

Both sides were wearing black armbands and supporters were asked to stand for a minute’s silence prior to kick-off in memory of the Hillsborough disaster and two soldiers from the Yorkshire Regiment who were killed last week in Afghanistan.
