Huddersfield Town

Huddersfield Town must go to a replay after being held by Birmingham City

by

HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 1, BIRMINGHAM CITY 1 (FA CUP 4th ROUND)

David Wagner’s side were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal and both teams will have to go again in the FA Cup at St Andrew’s after Huddersfield Town were held to a draw by Championship side Birmingham City who did enough to beat the Terriers but for a great late save by Joel Coleman.

Town’s opening goal by Steve Mounie was cancelled out in the second half by Lukas Jutkiewicz. Jutkiewicz had a goal ruled out for offside and had a late effort saved as the visitors finished strongly.

Marko Arnautovic destroys Huddersfield Town as West Ham apply clinical finishing

by

HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 1, WEST HAM 4

Marko Arnautovic was the West Ham hero as Huddersfield Town wilted in the second half after matching the Hammers during a first half filled with endeavour if not shots on target.

The Austrian first won the ball that Mark Noble opened the scoring with, before scoring seconds into the second half and laying on both of Manuel Lanzini’s goals shortly afterwards.

Joe Lolley was responsible for West Ham’s opening goal but atoned for the error with a great equaliser before the visitors overwhelmed them in the second half to secure West Ham manager David Moyes his 200th win in the Premier League.

Defeat at the hands of West Ham left Town closer to the drop zone in 13th place on 24 points – just 4 points from Stoke in 18th, with their opponents leapfrogging them into 11th on 25 points.
