Huddersfield 4-1 Portsmouth

Andy Booth grabbed one of four second-half goals

Three sublime touches from midfielder Dean Gorre undid Portsmouth at the McAlpine Stadium on Saturday.

The former Ajax star's lofted ball on the edge of the area was flicked on by Jon Dyson for Andy Booth to level the scores on 56 Minutes.

Thirteen minutes later Dutchman Gorre fired a superb long pass down the right to substitute Delroy Facey who found the top left-hand corner of the net.

And Gorre stepped up in injury time to calmly stroke a penalty past substitute keeper Chris Tardif after Jason Crowe hacked on-loan Derby striker Lee Morris down from behind.

Baldry grabs fourth

Huddersfield capped a stirring second-half performance deep in injury time when winger Simon Baldry played a one-two with Facey before smashing the ball into the far corner of Tardif's net with the outside of his right boot.

Portsmouth's record £1.2million signing Lee Mills put the visitors ahead on 33 minutes with a 25-yard piledriver which crowned a fine move.

Kevin Harper back-heeled a Gary Brady pass into the path of Australian midfielder Mike Panapoulous.

His first-time lay off was collected by Mills, who took a couple of touches to compose himself before rifling his shot into the top right-hand corner.

Dyson comes close

Huddersfield's best first-half chance came on 13 minutes when winger Ben Thornley skipped away down the left to swing over a cross which was flicked on by Morris.

Centre-half Jon Dyson beat opposite number Carl Tiler at the far post but his header was saved on the line by Aaron Flahavan.

Portsmouth created little in the second half and were constantly put on the back foot by Town's strong fightback.

Huddersfield's margin of victory could have been greater when Facey turned and shot wide through a crowded six-yard box on 70 minutes following Craig Armstrong's whipped-in corner.
