Huddersfield Town vs Blackburn Rovers match report
Despite a goal from a returning Jordan Rhodes and a penalty
from Captain Danny Murphy, Blackburn still couldn’t manage to gain all 3 points
against Huddersfield drawing 2-2. Lee Novak scored his second goal of the game
to salvage a point deep into injury time for the terriers.
Huddersfield Boss Simon Grayson wasn’t surprised Rhodes
managed to grab a goal against his former side “it was inevitable that Jordan was going to get on the end of chance to
score” Grayson came from the match satisfied with a point against the
Lancashire side “I think over the course
of the game it was a fair result, we were up against a good team with good
players”.

Rovers dominated the early stages with Rochina having been
the key man. But it was Huddersfield that took the lead on the 15th
minute mark against the run of play, as Oliver Norwood delivered a free kick
into the penalty area which caused a mass scramble of bodies which eventually ended
with Novak stabbing in the opener.
Blackburn responded well with Rochina having a low shot
saved. On the stroke of halftime the equaliser was found as Rhodes came back to
haunt his old side when broke the offside trap and fired home through the legs
of Smithies.
Rovers began the second half with confidence and looked
dangerous when going forward, it wasn’t long until they found a way through as
Marcus Olsson was brought down in the area by Joel lynch. Murphy stepped up and
sent Smithies the wrong way to celebrate in front of 3000 plus travelling fans.
The introduction of Alan Lee and Danny Ward sprung life into
Huddersfield as they looked for the equaliser. They piled bodies forward but
couldn’t find a way through Blackburn’s defence, up until the 93rd
minute when Adam Clayton launched a ball into the area where Novak converted
sending the home fans delirious and earning the terriers a good point.
