Simply the best

Warnock boys shock Boro…

By Chris Dunlavy

Jubilant Neil Warnock said Huddersfield’s incredible second-half comeback to beat promotion-chasing Middlesbrough 4-2 ranked alongside the best wins of his 43-year career.

Behind 1-0 at the break, the Terriers scored four goals in 21 minutes as high-flying Boro inexplicably capitulated.

Josh Ruffels’ sublime solo effort cancelled out Marcus Forss’ first-half opener before Josh Koroma and an unlikely Matty Pearson brace spun the game on its head. Chuba Akpom pulled one back for Boro, but the Terriers moved to the brink of Championship safety.

“That’s probably as good a result as I’ve ever had in my career, especially given the opponents,” said Warnock.
