Huddersfield Beat Leeds in their cup final

Huddersfield Town travel back across the M62 with a deserved 3 points following Michael Collins, last gasp winner at Elland Road.

As early as the 4th minute it looked unlikely we would be heading home happy, as poor defending allowed Snodgrass to poke the ball past the watching Glennon,Skarz and Berrett.

Town hit back and were constantly asking questions of the Leeds defence in the first half, Town had a free kick on the edge of the area, which looked a penalty from where I was sitting and Roberts agonisingly curled it just wide.

Town scored their equaliser straight from the kick off, with Leeds not even touching the ball. Build up play from Goodwin and Holdsworth, fed Keigan Parker down the right channel, he turned his marker inside out and crossed a lovely ball which Skarz smashed into the net and send the travelling fans into raptures.

Town were having much the better of the opening stages of the half and looking to add to their one goal.

leeds brought on Beckford, Howson and Prutton in an attempt to win the game, but it was ultimately Gerry Murphy’s defensive substitutions that won the game for Huddersfield.

With Cadamarteri looking lively since his 81st minute arrival

On 90 minutes he collected the ball and twisted and turned down the right hand channel, with nothing looking on he created the opportunity out of nothing and then had the vision to pick out Collins in the box, who with a slightly scuffed bicycle kick won the Yorkshire Derby and sent Town fans into a chorus of 2-1 in your cup final!

Being locked in after the game was a small price to pay, as the Town players celebrated with the fans at the final whistle.

Easy Easy Easy!

Chump of the day, his pre-match comments about Town certainly helped Town shoot down a poor looking Leeds team.
