Southampton 5-3 Huddersfield Town: Three late goals see Saints extend unbeaten run in a thriller

Southampton stormed back to win an astonishing Championship game against Huddersfield and extend their unbeaten league run to 22 games.

The Saints had trailed 2-0 to goals from Sorba Thomas and David Kasumu, which led to some fans at St Mary's booing the team off at half-time.

Joe Rothwell sparked the fightback with a spectacular volley and a smart finish from David Brooks' exquisite pass but Chelsea loanee Alex Matos restored the relegation-haunted Terriers' lead with his first senior goal.

Staring defeat in the face for the first time since September, Saints hit back with three goals in the last 10 minutes of normal time as Tom Lees put through his own goal and substitutes Sekou Mara and Samuel Edozie turned the game on its head to keep Russell Martin's team in second place.
