Carlisle 2-2 Huddersfield

Carlisle battled back from 2-0 down to draw with Huddersfield, denying them the chance to go second in the table.

Ben Marshall hit the Terriers woodwork early on, but the visitors took the lead when Peter Clarke fired home from eight yards out.

Town dominated and Clarke hit the bar before Scott Arfield drove home.

But Carlisle pressed and Francois Zoko gave them hope with a close-range header before James Chester rescued a point with a similar effort.

Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds:
"Of course you're very disappointed when you're 2-0 up away from home.

"We've had a poor finish to the year and I think it just showed a little bit of eagerness to try and do things right and by doing that we got too deep as a group and we couldn't get outside our box.

"We have to rebuild somewhere and that's a base for us to start looking towards some more positive results."
