FT: Newcastle 1-2 Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield served up an early-season shock as substitute Jack Payne struck a late winner against Newcastle in front of a sell-out St James' Park crowd.
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "We knew Huddersfield would be difficult to break down but we didn't play at the level we wanted to.
"We improved a lot in the second half but it's really disappointing.
"The players on the pitch they were trying, they are good players but they can do much better. The only positive today was the fans."
