Huddersfield Town out of Championship drop zone

Huddersfield Town move out of the Championship drop zone with a 2-1 win over Charlton Athletic.

Huddersfield Town have beaten Charlton Athletic 2-1 at The Valley this evening to move out of the relegation zone.

The visitors took the lead on 11 minutes when Harry Bunn connected with a volley from Sean Scannell's cross.

Bunn nearly made it a quick-fire brace two minutes later, but his header from Mustapha Carayol's cross was well saved.

Emyr Huws was making his first start for Huddersfield since moving from Manchester City towards the end of the transfer window, and the Welsh youngster was causing one or two problems with some neat footwork in the final third.

Carayol was perhaps fortunate to escape with just a booking before the half-hour mark for a high foot which caught the side of Jonathan Cousins's head.

Huws doubled Huddersfield's advantage on 33 minutes when he curled home a free kick after Ishmael Miller had been brought down.

Naby Sarr reduced the deficit on 40 minutes when he glanced home a header from Johan Gudmundsson's delivery.

After the break, Simon Makienok collected a long ball from the goalkeeper before smashing an effort narrowly wide.

Huddersfield keeper Jed Steer, who was booked for time wasting on 68 minutes, did well to hold Gudmundsson's curling free kick shortly after.

New signing Conor McAleny came off the bench for Charlton and his effort forced a save from Steer after a good pass from Gudmundsson, but the visitors held on for the points.
