Newcastle United 1-2 Huddersfield Town

Huddersfield piled further frustration on Tyneside by defeating Championship favourites Newcastle 2-1 at St James' Park.
In front of a sell-out 52,000 crowd, Huddersfield made it two wins from two to climb to the top of the league and leave Rafael Benitez's Magpies nursing the wounds of consecutive reversals.
Striker Nahki Wells curled David Wagner's team in front on the stroke of half-time when he was afforded too much freedom in the Newcastle box.
But Dwight Gayle headed his first goal for Newcastle since a summer switch from Crystal Palace just after the hour, even though it came from his own missed penalty, to provide hope.
