GOAL DOWN TO DIKE DEFTNESS AFTER BRITTAIN BRILLIANCE

One Huddersfield break looked likely to result in an excellent chance as they had several men racing forward with most of Barnsley’s defenders at the other end following a set piece.
But Callum Brittain made a magnificent tackle to win the ball back for the Reds which was followed – roughly ten seconds later – by the winning goal.
