EPL: Southampton 1-1 Huddersfield
Laurent Depoitre heads past Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster to equalise for Huddersfield.
Laurent Depoitre's second-half header for Huddersfield extended Southampton's winless run to six matches in a 1-1 draw at St Mary's.
Charlie Austin gave Southampton the lead from close range (24). However, he could have been sent off shortly afterwards for kicking the visitor's goalkeeper Jonas Lossl in the nose.
Austin missed a wonderful chance to put the hosts 2-0 up on the hour-mark and was made to pay for it as Depoitre headed in Huddersfield's equaliser (64).
The draw means Huddersfield go into 11th place and level on 22 points with Watford. Brighton's 1-0 victory means Southampton drop down to 13th.
Huddersfield started brightly and would have taken the lead in the 14th minute if not for Forster's heroics. Florent Hadergjonaj's threatening cross was met by Christopher Schindler, forcing Forster into tipping the ball over the bar.
But even with the visitors pushing for the opener, Southampton took the lead through Austin. James Ward-Prowse's corner was nodded on by Wesley Hoedt into the path of the unmarked poacher, who tucked home from point-blank range.
The scrappy contest took a controversial turn in the 32nd minute as Austin left a foot in on Jonas Lossl's nose when they both chased for a loose ball. However, five minutes later, the Danish goalkeeper continued the game and made a brave stop from close range to deny Tadic Southampton's second.
The first great chance in the second half fell to Austin. On the counter-attack, Redmond squared the ball to the 28-year-old who, with just the goalkeeper to beat, dragged his shot wide of the post.
And the former QPR striker was made to rue his chance as Huddersfield punished the Saints four minutes later. Substitute Tommy Smith burst down the right flank and crossed in for Depoitre, who positioned himself between Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens, to nod in a deserved equaliser.
Austin's eventful day came to an end when he limped off with a hamstring injury following his dangerous strike on goal that Lossl parried away.
Yoshida almost got the winner for Southampton in injury time, but his free header from Ward-Prowse's corner came off the post before bouncing out off Lossl to mark a frustrating afternoon for Mauricio Pellegrino's men.
