TERRIERS SHOW BIT OF BITE
DANNY COWLEY’S men produced a dominant display as Huddersfield edged five points clear of the drop zone with a first win in four games.
But it is proving a bad February for Bristol City’s play-off hopes with four defeats in five games as they stay three points off sixth.
There was a long delay when Terriers enforcer Jonathan Hogg went off with a knee injury. After the restart teammate Fraizer Campbell had an effort ruled out for offside before Town took the lead.
Arsenal loanee Emile Smith Rowe fed Chris Willock (above) and the striker cut inside, lashing a shot into the corner for his first Terriers goal.
The visitors almost levelled as Famara Diedhiou struck the base of the post with their first shot of the game.
Robins gaffer Lee Johnson made a double change at halftime – but it made little difference.
Karlan Grant then sealed the points from the spot on 63 minutes after Smith Rowe had been flattened by defender Nathan Baker.
Town should have scored more but had an anxious finish after Diedhiou pulled one back.
