Huddersfield Town 3-1 Stoke City: Terriers beat Potters for first win of season

Danny Schofield earned his first win as Huddersfield Town boss at the fourth attempt as his side scored twice in the final 13 minutes to beat Stoke City.

After two league defeats and a midweek Carabao Cup exit to Preston, the Terriers won with a first-half header from Japanese defender Yuta Nakayama, supplemented by late strikes from Danny Ward and Jordan Rhodes, after Lewis Baker had equalised.

Stoke wasted a chance to take the lead on 21 minutes when Josh Laurent went down in the penalty area under a challenge from Josh Ruffels - and referee Matt Donohue awarded a penalty.
