Huddersfield Town A.F.C. 2 – 1 Queens Park Rangers F.C.

‘Town’ bounced back from their first defeat of the season in fine form, defeating QPR 2-1 at 'The John Smith’ stadium. Kasey Parmer was handed only his second start in the league by coach Wagner and repaid the German managers trust 14 minutes into the first half. The on loan Chelsea attacking midfielder, headed home Van La Parra’s perfectly weighted cross to give ‘The Terriers’ the lead.

7 minutes into the second half and Kachunga scored his third goal for the West Yorkshire club, heading in Tommy Smith’s scintillating cross and in turn doubling the home sides advantage. The visiting side got a goal back in the 76th minute through new signing Idrissa Sylla, but did little else to test ‘The Terriers’ defence in search of an equalising goal.

Huddersfield deservedly ran out 2-1 winners, making it four home victories in as many games so far this season. This is ‘The Terriers’ best start to a league campaign for 64 years and head coach David Wagner couldn’t hide his delight.

“It was a great reaction by the group after Brighton. Our one target was to bounce back with the right result.

“Football is all about decision making and they [Huddersfield Town] made some very good decisions.

"This was a huge, massive result for us with a performance that was brilliant, fantastic, great. I don’t have enough vocabulary to describe it. I cannot say how happy I am.”

Huddersfield remain top of the championship table and their next game is away to Reading on Saturday 23rd September.
