Watford come back to win at Huddersfield

Watford have beaten Huddersfield Town 2-1 in an entertaining game at the John Smith's Stadium.

The Hornets had to come from a goal down, before dominating the play for much of the second half.

Huddersfield started brightly, with Oliver Norwood and Adam Hammill creating problems, and took the lead after just 16 minutes.

Danny Ward found space in the box and headed Hammill's cross into the corner, but the lead did not last for long.

Watford were level within two minutes after an excellent move involving Troy Deeney and Marco Faraoni eventually found Fernando Forestieri, who volleyed home from the edge of the box.

The game continued in end-to-end fashion before Watford went ahead minutes from half time. Daniel Pudil reacted quickest to tuck the ball home after the goalkeeper had spilled it.

Watford just about had the better of the play after the break and almost went further in front when Forestieri found space again, this time deciding to chip the goalkeeper, but Alex Smithies managed to turn it behind.

The visitors continued to push forward and were comfortable in the end as they took all three points.
