Un but de Jordan Rhodes en fin de partie a suffi au bonheur d'Huddersfield face à Luton Town (1-0, 1-1 à l'aller). Les Terriers ont rendez-vous avec Wembley pour la finale des Playoffs pour l'accession en Premier League.
Jordan Rhodes scored a late winner to send Huddersfield Town into the Championship play-off final with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Luton Town. The visitors dominated the first half, but Harry Cornick shot straight at Terriers goalkeeper Lee Nicholls from just six yards out. Cornick was thwarted by Nicholls again after the break. However, Rhodes converted an 82nd-minute free-kick from fellow sub Sorba Thomas at the back post.
Huddersfield will play Nottingham Forest or Sheffield United, who meet at the City Ground in their second leg on Tuesday, in the final at Wembley on Sunday, 29 May. The West Yorkshire side had two seasons in the Premier League between 2017 and 2019 and their fans spilled onto the pitch as the final whistle went. Town rode their luck in a game where they struggled to find their fluent best, but their campaign will now end at English football's grandest stage - and the chance to return to the top flight. The two sides had drawn 1-1 in an even first leg on Friday, but it was Luton who enjoyed the better of things at the John Smith's Stadium.
Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan:
"It was a difficult and tough game. I can not tell you that I was enjoying it, it was a hard game to manage.
"They were better and more comfortable than us in the first half.
"I think the concentration in the backline and the goalkeeper today was massive.
"Jordan Rhodes had a great contribution, not just with his goal.
"I'm really, really excited and motivated to take the team to Wembley. I think it is important that the players celebrate now because this was the target we had today. From tomorrow we have a different target."
Luton manager Nathan Jones
"I'm really disappointed but that's overshadowed by the pride I have for the club and how we have gone about it - we were outstanding tonight.
"We were the better team, we had the better chances, more corners, we just couldn't find the opening.
"Tactically we were superb, we were aggressive, we pressed - people say they're the best tactical side in the league, they're not.
"It's quite easy to sit in and be pragmatic, we don't, we go after everyone and how we went our work, I am so proud of our group - it's a magnificent group."
