Huddersfield Town 1-1 Stoke City: Jacob Brown strike earns Potters draw
Stoke City substitute Jacob Brown blasted a superb second-half equaliser to earn Michael O’Neill’s faltering Championship play-off contenders a point at sixth-placed Huddersfield.
It looked like the Potters’ luck was out when Josh Koroma’s hugely deflected goal put the Terriers ahead just six minutes after he could have been sent off for a totally unpunished knee-high challenge which connected with on-loan Stoke defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
Stoke then had two strong penalty claims turned down before they finally drew level when Brown shot home from 18 yards, after on-loan Aston Villa midfielder Jaden Philogene-Bidace had been denied by the post.
That was enough to lift Stoke a place to 10th before the rest of the weekend Championship fixtures.
In the end, it was a fair result from a game which began slowly, with the hosts in the ascendancy, but ended with Stoke on top, regenerated by the half-time arrival of Wales midfield dynamo Joe Allen and supplemented by the introduction of fit-again Nick Powell and Scotland international Brown.
