Leicester City 4 Huddersfield Town 2 24/1/09

So what a great game for my first home blog!! The stage was set after our mugging of the 3 points by 3 goals to 2 at the galpharm last october Huddersfield were out for revenge.

Huddersfield were first out the blocks with a frenetic start and were threatening the leicester goal. Phil jevons opened the scoring with a spectacular overhead kick on 6 minutes. Leicester however immediately responded with Bruno Berner's cross/shot turned in for his first goal by centre back Michael Morrison. This game was already looking like a humdinger and it was certainly that!!

No more goals in the first half but the tempo of the game never slowed to the whistle. Howard got booked for leading with the arm in an aerial challenge and Kerrea Gilbert also got booked after a few clumsy challenges

Half time change Mattock for Gilbert saw Berner go to midfield and debutant Tom Cleverly go to right back a position where he has played before.

Second half began with the visitors pressing and a poor clearance from howard saw Keegan Parker steer a great strike into the net to send the 3000 away support into raptures on 50 mins.

10 minutes later city were back level however when a guided Bruno Berner header found the left hand side of the net. This game was turning out to be just as thrilling if not more so then the october clash

Next it was city again in the goals as fryatt scrambled home for his first goal in 4 games and his 19th league goal of the season. Some neat work from Oakley set up the goal and Dyer claimed the assist. Then on 68 mins another first city goal this time for centre back Jack Hobbs firing in from an Oakley corner.

The noise and atmosphere was now coming from the leicester fans and the Huddersfield fans were shellshocked at the comeback. Town never really threatened again and the game had only 1 more flashpoint left. Roberts of the visitors kicked the ball away and was yellowcarded but continued to show dissent and was then showed a red by an overall poor referee.

All in all another thriller v Huddersfield and the 2 teams shared 11 goals in the 2 league fixtures city of course winning 7-4 on aggregate. I hope u like the pictures showing some of the goals!!
