  1. Goodbye!published at 16:53 British Summer Time 12 August 2017

    As the Huddersfield celebrations continue it is time for us to wave goodbye.

    Head over here for all the post-match reaction. I think the Town fans might enjoy it! Palace fans probably won't...

    Three minutes of injury-time. Three minutes too much for Palace.

    And the Yorkshire fans encourage the home fans to disappear with a song of their own...

    Crystal Palace 0-3 Huddersfield

    Patches of blue seats are appearing around Selhurst Park. Time for the home fans to leg it home. There is not a single spare seat in the away end...

    Frustration is getting the better of Jason Puncheon. One suspects he is not the only one of a Palace persuasion feeling hacked off. The Eagles skipper goes into the book after needlessly swiping the legs of Elias Kachunga near the halfway line.

    He's earned this one....

    Steve Mounie receives a rapturous ovation as he is withdrawn by Terriers boss David Wagner.

    "Premier League, you're having a laugh..."

    "Easy, easy, EASY!"

    The full repertoire of gloating chants are coming from the Huddersfield end. And why not!

    Huddersfield's players and fans will not be surprised that the pundits are tipping them to go down. What will delight them is that the team is proving us wrong!

    "We're top of the league, we're top of the leeeeeeeeague!!!"

    The Huddersfield fans at Selhurst - and back home in West Yorkshire, no doubt - are enjoying themselves.

    Today they have been a credit to the Championship in the way they have performed. Crystal Palace look absolutely woeful.

    GOAL - Crystal Palace 0-3 Huddersfieldpublished at 79 mins

    Steve Mounie

    Wow.

    Absolutely clinical from Huddersfield. Moments after Dann's miss, the Terriers scamper up the other end and see Steve Mounie smash in Colin Quaner's rolled square pass from 15 yards.

    Unstoppable.

    Should be 2-1. Scott Dann blazes over from six yards out.

    If Palace are thinking about making a comeback then they had better hurry up.

  15. Postpublished at 74 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Huddersfield

    Free-kick for Palace about 25 yards out. Patrick van Aanholt stands over it... he can hit these. Not this time. The Dutch left wing-back drags a tame shot wide of the right post.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 73 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Huddersfield

    An eventful debut for Steve Mounie. His goal bonus may have just been eroded by a yellow card after he clumsily hacks down Loftus-Cheek. Do clubs still fine players for bookings these days? They should do and then put it all in a kitty for a chosen charity. Just a thought...

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Huddersfield

    Time for another Town change. Kasey Palmer twirls as he claps back to a standing away end, high-fiving his replacement Colin Quaner.

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Huddersfield

    Palace go back to trying to exploit Huddersfield down the flanks, Wilf Zaha's whipped cross from the left only finding the head of Zanka.

  19. Postpublished at 67 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Huddersfield

    Wilfried Zaha looks the likeliest Palace player to drag his side back into this game. He moves into the middle momentarily to try and make things happen, but can't find a way past the organised Huddersfield defence.

    All neat and tidy from Palace - but they aren't really going anywhere. Huddersfield look assured.
