Chris Powell delighted with "exceptional" Huddersfield Town

Huddersfield Town manager Chris Powell has described his side's performance in this afternoon's victory over high-flying Brentford as "exceptional".

The Terriers ended the Bees' five-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory at the John Smith's Stadium to climb up to 15th in the Championship.

"I thought we played exceptionally well, there was a real intensity to our play," BBC Sport quotes Powell as saying.

"We were quite brave against a team that was going well and for 80 minutes it was a really good performance. In the last 10 minutes they put us under pressure.

"It was hairy-scary at times but that's the Championship for you."

Victory ended a four-game winless streak for the West Yorkshire side.
