Huddersfield Town kick off the Year of the Dog with rousing victory over Bournemouth

by

HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 4, BOURNEMOUTH 1

A first Huddersfield Town goal for Alex Pritchard, a double by Steve Mounie, and a Rajiv van La Parra penalty meant that the Terriers could celebrate a first Premier League win in nine matches as they kickstarted their survival mission with a huge morale boosting victory over Bournemouth.

The bad news, though, is Town may have to do without Aaron Mooy for a period after he went off on a stretcher after jarring his left knee towards the end of the game.

The Terriers got back on the scoresheet for the first time in the Premier League since mid January in their home defeat to West Ham having failed to score in a total of 14 of 26 previous league games this season.

A poor run since December had led to the Terriers slipping into the bottom three with relegation a serious threat but victory temporarily moved them back up to 16th.

Four-goal Sergio Aguero in one man wrecking mission for Manchester City against Leicester City

by

MAN CITY 5, LEICESTER CITY 1

It was hard to find suitable superlatives to describe Sergio Aguero’s one-man demolition of Leicester City.

The Manchester City scored four of the goals as he continues to set records.

Aguero, who has 28 goals for the season, became only the fourth player to score 20 times in the Premier League in four successive seasons matching Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Harry Kane.

His total of 21 Premier League goals also drew level with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with only Harry Kane ahead of them this season with 23.

Manchester United beat Huddersfield Town on day Reds mark 60th anniversary of Munich air disaster

by

MAN UNITED 2, HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 0

An emotionally charged afternoon in which Manchester United marked the 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster was followed by a Reds’ victory against Huddersfield Town at Old Trafford.

It wasn’t pretty on the eye, but United did enough to find a way past the battling Terriers through second-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez on his home debut.

And with leaders Manchester City surprisingly held at Burnley, United cut City’s lead from 16 to 13 points.

It was a satisfactory performance from United – nothing more than that – as they bounced back from the midweek defeat at Tottenham.

And Reds’ goalkeeper David De Gea, making his 300th appearance for the Reds, could not have had an easier ride as he didn’t have a shot to save.
