On paper, a struggling Huddersfield Town outfit facing a promotion-challenging Swansea City side was a mismatch.
So it proved to be…but not how the paper was showing it to be.
Huddersfield blitz condemns Swansea to a big defeat
Huddersfield were without a win in their previous four games before playing Swansea; the Swans were undefeated over their previous four games.
It was an even opening 45 with Frazier Campbell’s 6th goal of the season (27′) giving the home-side Terriers an early lead.
That lead lasted into first-half injury time before on-loan Conor Hourihane (45+1′) equalised with his fourth goal in five Championship outings.
The game span out of Swansea’s control in a seven-minute spell early in the second half of the game.
First Lewis O’Brien (48′) put Huddersfield 2-1 up before a quickfire brace from Duane Holmes (52’/55′) effectively took the game away from the visiting Swans.
Battle as they did, Swansea couldn’t make head roads into Huddersfield’s three-goal lead. It was a result that saw Swansea sit in 4th and Huddersfield end the day in 18th place in the Sky Bet Championship table.

Well played 2nd half. Hope we kick on from here now and it’s not just papering over the cracks. Also scofield is still not good enough I’m afraid however well done today town.

Away from responding to the club’s tweet, here’s what other Huddersfield Town fans were saying:
Crikey, wasn’t ready for that. Some good effort and composure today #HTAFC. Repeat Tuesday please. Just remembering what hope does so trying not to get too giddy.

A third of the goals Swansea have conceded this season have been scored by town. Unbelievable Jeff. #htafc

The first Town game I’ve not watched all season so far, and we go out there and put up a 4-1 win. Think that’s me done watching for the season! #htafc
