Huddersfield 2-0 Southampton

In-form Anthony Pilkington hit his fourth goal in three games to help Huddersfield Town beat Southampton.

Pilkington took just six minutes to put his side ahead, when he fired a 25-yard shot into the top right corner.

Joey Gudjonsson doubled the lead on the stroke of half time with another long-range drive, smashing in a 25-yarder.

The visitors had their chances to get back into the game, but neither Rickie Lambert or Guly Do Prado could find a way through the Huddersfield defence.

The Terriers' sixth win in 12 games keeps Lee Clark's men in the League One play-off zone, in fifth.

Southampton had not conceded a goal from open play since Adkins took charge last month.

But they now drop back to 15th following the end of their five-game unbeaten run - still only three points clear of trouble.

Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds:

"The first half was very good. Possibly the best half of football the team's played since I've been manager.

"They've done everything we'd asked and worked on in the week. We pressed them and forced them into errors but, when we we had the ball, we made opportunities and caused them lots of problems.

"The players I brought into the club in the summer from a higher division stood up and were counted and showed the class they have."

Southampton manager Nigel Adkins told BBC Radio Solent:
"Huddersfield worked ever so hard to close us down. Maybe we were caught in two minds about how to play.

"The 1-0 score at half-time has obviously given them more momentum into the second half.

"We've got to remember that, when we go away from home we've got no right to move the ball about, so all credit to Huddersfield."
