Huddersfield Town 2, Leeds United 2

Simon Grayson was happy to come away from the Galpharm Stadium with a point after a tense League One local derby against Huddersfield.

Leeds recovered from going a goal down in the first half and hit back with two in five minutes, only for the hosts to grab a late equaliser, leaving United in second place and Huddersfield still sixth.

Grayson said: “I think a draw was a fair result, although when you get in front with ten or 15 minutes to go you like to think you can see it through. Unfortunately we couldn’t do it.

“We looked like ourselves again after a good performance on Tuesday night and we’re another point closer to where we want to be and we’re still a good position in the league.”

Huddersfield dominated the first half and went in front with a deflected shot from Anthony Pilkington, who was left unmarked on the edge of the box.

The home side should have gone further ahead but Jordan Rhodes put an easy chance over the bar and, right at the start of the second half, Casper Ankergren made a fine stop to thwart Pilkington.

That sparked Leeds into life and Jonny Howson started and finished the move for the equaliser, picking out Robert Snodgrass and then heading home the winger’s cross.

Five minutes later, Luciano Becchio headed his third goal in two games from another fine delivery by Snodgrass and Leeds looked set to go on and win.

Town were denied by a post and another fine Ankergren save but, with four minutes to go, Gary Roberts guided home a cross from Pilkington to earn Town a point.

Grayson said: “Jonny showed great awareness with the first pass and then followed it into the box and finished it off. He’s a box-to-box player and can get into those areas.

“When Luciano got the second, we thought we could go and get the third and finish the game off but credit to them, they came back at us.”
