1 ................... TOWN after shoot-out win

Parra found Nahki Wells down the left who fed Izzy Brown only for the on-loan Chelsea forward to fire wide from eight yards out.

As the decibels raised so did the game’s intensity – Steven Fletcher and Fernando Forestieri linking up well and Sam Hutchinson blazing over the bar as the home side began to turn the screw.

But Town continued to prove to be more than a match and probably should have had a penalty in the 38th minute when Wells went down in the box but referee Andre Marriner waved away the appeals.

So as the half-time whistle blew it was honours even but with Huddersfield Town arguably the happier of the two sides but may have been ruing their inability to take one of the fleeting opportunities which had come their way.

The second-half started with the same ferocious intensity as the first but it was Wednesday who broke the deadlock as Fletcher’s towering header sent Hillsborough rocking in the 51st minute.

But the strength of David Wagner’s side throughout this campaign has been their ability to react in the face of adversity and respond positively.

And just as Sheffield Wednesday looked to be growing in confidence after taking the lead, Huddersfield Town dug-in and found a response to send the travelling away support into delirium.

A superb ball from Izzy Brown found substitute Collin Quaner who expertly squared the ball to Wells to looked to have scored but it later went down as a Lee own goal.

The final 20 end-to-end minutes had everything – tackles flying in, saves being made and even blood being spilt by Jonathan Hogg.
