    Here's Aaron Mooy celebrating his penalty with Michael Hefele.

    Huddersfield have eight minutes plus stoppage time to find a leveller.

    Huddersfield 1-2 Newcastle

    Newcastle break away and have a chance to take the sting out of the game.

    Dwight Gayle can't get past two defenders but is then found by Matt Ritchie.

    Gayle gets to the byline and then blasts across the face of goal from a nigh-impossible angle.

    Rafael Benitez makes his final change, bringing on DeAndre Yedlin for Christian Atsu.

    The Ghanaian took his time coming off.

    Wolves had centre-half Mike Williamson sent off as they slumped to their fifth successive defeat at Reading, with Paul Lambert's side now only one point above the relegation zone.

    Wolves manager Paul Lambert told BBC WM:

    "There was a few big decisions that never went our way, but I thought we played a good game.

    "When you're down there and the little things go against you, you come through it.

    "The lads know it, they know they're playing well enough to get out of it and it's not as if we look like a team that are struggling for form, we just need little breaks."

    Nahki Wells takes this one.

    He swings it over the wall, but can't get it down quickly enough on the other side, and goes harmlessly over the Newcastle bar.

    Huddersfield need to keep looking for a breakthrough and not get frustrated. There's plenty of time left.

    Huddersfield 0-2 Newcastle

    Jonjo Shelvey goes into the book for a sliding challenge on Isaiah Brown.

    He wins the ball, but chops down the Huddersfield man with a scissors action.

    It doesn't stop Shelvey from giving referee Roger East an earful.

    This is in a good position for the Terriers to strike...

    Former Huddersfield keeper Matt Glennon on BBC Radio Leeds:

    "Huddersfield are throwing everything at Newcastle but they need a bit of quality or luck to break down this Newcastle defence. There is still confidence in this Huddersfield side because they are still creating opportunities."

    A great intervention at the back for Newcastle from Ciaran Clark.

    Huddersfield have started the second half well in the search for a way back into the game.

    So far the visitors are dealing with what is being thrown at them.

    Moments ago Newcastle forced a corner and Daryl Murphy made a nuisance of himself before Joel Coleman gathered and cleared the danger.

    It may have been in that clash with Daryl Murphy for the second Newcastle goal.

    As a result, Joel Coleman is making just his second league appearance of the season.

    He conceded five in the FA Cup defeat at Manchester City in midweek.
