Huddersfield 1-2 Arsenal: How it happened

By Chris Harris at John Smith’s Stadium

We stayed in the thick of the chase for a top-four finish thanks to goals from Alex Iwobi and Alex Lacazette.

Iwobi gave us the lead with a goal that required good technique - and a stroke of luck.

Keeping his eye on a deep cross from Sead Kolasinac, the Nigeria international did well to keep over the ball and send it goalwards.

A fortuitous clip off the heel of Terence Kongolo wrongfooted goalkeeper Ben Hamer, and he couldn’t recover to keep the ball out.

Huddersfield - starved of goals this season - ramped up the pressure at times with a string of dangerous crosses into our box.
