Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner praises his side after they surpass the 20-point mark in the Premier League.

Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner has praised his side for surpassing the 20-point mark in the Premier League courtesy of a 4-1 victory at Watford this afternoon.

A feisty encounter saw both teams reduced to 10 men - first Troy Deeney for the hosts, then Jonathan Hogg for the visitors - and five goals as the Terriers picked up their first win away from home since the opening day of the season.

More crucially, the result took Huddersfield - one of the pre-season favourites for relegation - to 21 points and up to 11th in the table, one game before the official halfway point of the campaign.

"I haven't seen any footage of the goals, nor the red cards, but at the end we played well," Wagner told Sky Sports News after the game. "We scored some wonderful goals and had other opportunities. We were focused on defence and good in offence. The players performed to their best today.

"Watford have problems at the minute with suspensions and injuries but they are a top team. But today we were good as well. We always had the feeling this was just around the corner.

"I think we are in the race. Nobody thought we would be. This is what makes us happy. It is only nearly the middle of the season, nothing more. You need 12 wins I believe to stay up, we have six."

Huddersfield's festive fixture list includes games against Southampton, Stoke City, Burnley and Leicester City.
