Huddersfield got their League One play-off challenge back on track with a 2-1 victory at Stevenage.

Having lost their past two games, and with only two wins in the past nine, Town consolidated fifth place with this win.

The visitors took the lead after three minutes when Boro failed to deal with an awkward ball forward that bounced high.

It was pushed wide to the left for Ruben Roosken to beat his man and cross low, with Callum Marshall tapping home.

Josh Koroma was denied by a diving save from goalkeeper Murphy Cooper but Boro were level after 11 minutes when Brandon Hanlan used his strength to get clear and then lash the ball high into the net from a tight angle.

Dan Kemp should have made it 2-1 to Stevenage, but in the end a header by Nigel Lonwijk from an Antony Evans corner sealed the win after 24 minutes.

Jordan Roberts could have equalised in the first half but headed straight at Lee Nicholls before Cooper made the save of the game, clawing a Marshall header away and then blocking the rebound.

Jamie Reid hit the bar at the end but Boro were always second best.
