MOUNIE’S SO DUFF & READY

- BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA

STEVE MOUNIE said he knew Shane Duffy’s mistake for Huddersfie­ld’s goal was coming before he made it.

Striker Mounie scored Town’s equaliser after pouncing on a poor backpass from the Brighton defender.

He said: “Duffy likes to fake like he will go long but then he makes a cut-back and I knew that.

“I knew he would do the same and that’s why I was ready for it.”

Duffy dallied on the ball in the right-back position and, instead of launching long, turned back and played the ball blindly to his keeper. No wonder he reacted in horror (left).

Newly-promoted Huddersfie­ld’s survival bid looks set to go to the wire.

Their next two home games against Watford and Everton look like more presentabl­e opportunit­ies to get points than their final three clashes with Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal.

But boss David Wagner said: “It makes no sense to rule games out and say we have no chance.

“We have a very exciting final week...manchester City away, Chelsea away,

Arsenal at home. I would not say we cannot collect points. p

“We have shown the top six are beatable sometimes. Hopefully we have such a week where it is possible. We have two other home games, which is an advantage

for us.”
