EPL: Huddersfield Town 2-1 Manchester United

Mooy gave Huddersfield the lead

Huddersfield Town claimed a big win over Manchester United after two clinical goals earned them three vital points.

In tough playing conditions at the John Smith's Stadium, Town took advantage of a very poor first-half performance and two mistakes from United to take a two-goal lead just after the half-hour mark.

The scoring was opened on 28 minutes when Aaron Mooy started and finished a move that got the ball rolling.

The Australian pounced onto a loose ball and found Tom Ince whose effort on goal was saved by David De Gea, but the ball rebounded to Mooy who swept home from ten yards as the United defence stood and watched.

The lead was doubled five minutes later when first-half substitute Victor Lindelof misjudged a header and the ball was latched onto by Laurent Depoitre, who ran through on goal and rounded De Gea to spark wild celebrations.

The visitors were very poor in the first half and Jose Mourinho made his last two available changes at the break hoping for a change of fortune.

One of those changes came to fruition when Marcus Rashford halved the lead with twelve minute remaining when a brilliant cross in from the right by Romelu Lukaku found the England man who headed home to set up a tight finish.

United pushed and had a couple of moments to find their equaliser including deep into stoppage time when Chris Smalling had an effort well blocked as Huddersfield scrambled the ball away.
