HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 2 UNITED 1

Goals by Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre earned Huddersfield Town victory over an out-of-sorts Manchester United at the John Smith's Stadium, despite substitute Marcus Rashford pulling one back.

The Reds simply endured a first half to forget in the wind and rain in west Yorkshire. Although Romelu Lukaku had an early shot straight at Jonas Lossl, the keeper was not tested again for the remainder of the opening period.
Anthony Martial had a flare-up with home skipper Tommy Smith which set the tone as the fired-up Terriers set about unsettling Jose Mourinho's men. Both players were booked. Lukaku was off target with an acrobatic volley from a cross by Ashley Young, who looked the Reds' most enterprising attacking outlet.
After Phil Jones went off injured, Mooy opened the scoring by robbing Juan Mata and feeding Tom Ince. Paul Ince's son had his shot blocked by David De Gea but Mooy followed up to clip in the rebound. The home crowd rejoiced and they could scarcely believe it, five minutes later, when a routine long kick forward by keeper Jonas Lossl was misjudged by Victor Lindelof and Depoitre rounded De Gea to double the lead.
Nemanja Matic had a shot deflected wide at the end of the half but the second period started no better, although Young did get an attempt away when pushing further forward. The expected onslaught did not arrive until Ander Herrera had a glancing header parried by Lossl from a Young centre.
It sparked a better spell as Lukaku stormed down the right flank and delivered a peach of a cross to the far post that was nodded home by Rashford to give the Reds hope. However, despite four minutes of injury time, United were unable to even conjure up another opportunity, until makeshift striker Chris Smalling had an effort blocked in the dying seconds, against resilient opponents who inflicted our first league defeat of the season and celebrated the final whistle wildly.
