Crawley 2-2 Huddersfield
Saturday 9 November 2024 18:02, UK
Huddersfield twice fought back from a goal down to force a hard-fought 2-2 draw at struggling Crawley.
The Terriers were behind to a Rushian Hepburn-Murphy goal at half time but markedly improved to extend their unbeaten league run to five games.
Huddersfield boss Michael Duff went into the clash demanding a reaction from his side after describing their FA Cup exit at non-league Tamworth as "nowhere near good enough".

Crawley threatened in only the fifth minute when Harry Forster burst through the middle and found Will Swan inside the area but he was unable to get a shot away.
Keeper Connal Trueman, signed on a second seven-day emergency loan from Millwall, came to Crawley's rescue by saving a goal-bound shot from Ben Wiles before recalled striker Hepburn-Murphy put the Red Devils ahead on 42 minutes.
