Referee Mason overturns his initial decision to award Huddersfield a second-half penalty in David Wagner's last game in charge

David Wagner accused referee Lee Mason of costing Huddersfield a precious Premier League win at Cardiff after he overturned his decision to award the Terriers a 76th-minute penalty.

Wagner, who left the club by mutual consent on Monday evening, saw his Huddersfield side end a run of nine successive defeats with a battling 0-0 draw against their fellow relegation strugglers.

Yet one point could have turned into three, but for Mason changing his mind over giving the Terriers a penalty when full-back Florent Hadergjonaj tumbled.

Mason spoke to his assistant Stuart Burt before reversing his decision, instead awarding a free-kick to Cardiff for Hadergjonaj pushing Joe Bennett before the Switzerland international fell in the box. But was the correct decision made?
