Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Huddersfield: David Wagner's men make play-offs

Huddersfield Town guaranteed their place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs with a 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night.

In their game in hand over their promotion rivals, Huddersfield midfielder Izzy Brown's classy 25-yard first-half strike proved the difference between the two teams.

Wolves hit the post through David Edwards but the high-flying Terriers rarely looked in trouble as they won by a one-goal margin for the 22nd time this season.

The victory moves David Wagner's men into third as Sheffield Wednesday, Reading, Fulham and Leeds will battle it out for the remaining three play-off spots with two games to go.

With Wolves' season drawing to an unremarkable close, Paul Lambert decided to make six changes with Dominic Iorfa, Danny Batth, Silvio, Jack Price, Morgan Gibbs-White and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson returning.

The hosts struggled to find any cohesion in the early stages with on-loan Chelsea man Brown - one of four changes made by Wagner - finding acres of space just behind striker Nahki Wells.

Jonathan Hogg broke from midfield on 13 minutes after some play between Wells and Brown but curled an effort into the stands from a tight angle.

Wells then reacted quickest from a Rajiv van La Parra cross but could only fire straight at Harry Burgoyne when well positioned inside the area.

Town didn't have to wait long to break the deadlock though as Brown took centre stage.

Aaron Mooy's graft in midfield presented the ball to Brown, who drove towards goal and cracked a wonderful effort from 25 yards that curled into the bottom corner.

Wolves lacked a creative force in a disjointed first-half display but could have gone in level if Edwards had flicked a header from 10 yards either side of Danny Ward instead of straight at the goalkeeper.

Edwards went even closer early in the second period but smashed an effort from a tight angle against the post after Andreas Weimann had an effort tipped away by Ward.

That was as good as it got for Wolves, who were always vulnerable to the Huddersfield counter attack.

Substitute Collin Quaner had three glorious opportunities to wrap up the points in the final quarter but fired wide from 12 yards, was denied by Burgoyne and also fluffed an effort from close range.

His wastefulness mattered little though as Town saw the game out and Wagner directed a team huddle in the centre-circle at full-time to celebrate their achievement of making the end-of-season shootout.
