Parky ref rage as quickfire Terriers stun Bolton

-

because of a horror challenge on David Wheater in the build-up.

He said: “We held our own apart from two minutes when we conceded a scrappy goal from a set play and you have to see the challenge on Wheater.

“It was a leg-breaking challenge right in front of the referee and he hasn’t given it and it resulted in the lad having a shot and a deflected goal. That goal should never have stood.

“We are very lucky not to have a serious injury.”

The goals in the second half were a welcome relief from a largely forgettabl­e first as hefty personnel changes from both sides made for a poor spectacle.

Aaron Wilbraham should have given the home side the lead just before the break when Filipe Morais picked out the veteran in the six-yard box, but the 38-year-old was unable to get his header on target.

The half-time cup of tea appeared to have done the Huddersfie­ld players a power of good.

Abdelhamid Sabiri’s stinging drive from outside the box drew an excellent save from Mark Howard and Laurent Depoitre tried a cheeky backheel from the corner that was hacked clear.

They took the lead on 51 minutes when Bolton failed to deal with another Sabiri corner and first-half sub Van la Parra poked home from close range.

But it was their controvers­ial deflected second goal less than a minute later that got under the skin of Parkinson.

Williams picked up a loose ball after Sabiri’s challenge on Wheater and his shot deflected off Mark Beevers, leaving Howard with no chance.

Huddersfie­ld boss David Wagner said it was his player that was fouled in the build-up.

He said: “There was a foul on Sabiri because he had his shirt pulled and he tried to win the ball with a long leg. I was surprised we did not get a foul.”

Wagner had to sit through a tense finish after Derik stooped to head home Morais’ corner after 64 minutes.
