Coca Cola League Division One
Huddersfield Town 2-3 Leicester City
A spirited fightback by Town ended in vain, as an outrageous piece of fortune saw Leicester take all 3 points at a windswept Galpharm.
A first half with chances for both sides , Roberts and Dickenson going close for Town, Matty Fryatt for Leicester, but ultimately goaless.
Leicester broke the deadlock just after half time, that man Fryatt on the end of a good passing move, his shot just evading Matt Glennon. The lead was doubled when Jim Goodwins careless hand blocked a Leicester cross, and it was Fryatt once more who stepped up to put the penalty away.
Those who though Town were dead and buried at this point were thankfully wrong as Gary Roberts gave us a chink of light with his fourth goal of the season. The comeback was completed on 77 minutes when Liam Dickenson headed home Jim Goodwins cross powerfully.
An almighty fluke cost Town dear right on full time, Lloyd Dyer somehow managing to loop the ball over Matt Glennon while falling backwards at the same time. Town did not deserve this after an excellent performance.
Stan Ternent says the referee played a huge part in Towns defeat.
