That's it. Salomon Rondon's goal is the difference. Newcastle do see out a vital victory at the bottom but Huddersfield will feel hard done by with that.

For all their possession and territory, the Terriers lacked quality in the final third and fall to a fourth defeat on the bounce.

That could be a huge result come the end of the season.

You can follow all the reaction from today's Premier League games here.

A big chance for Laurent Depoitre goes begging!

The striker just couldn't sort his feet out in front of goal. Was that the final chance? Newcastle look like they're going to hang on, just.

Newcastle almost catch the hosts on the break but Matt Ritchie can't find a way past Jonas Lossl. Rafael Benitez is urging a final push from his side - he knows how important this result could be for his side.

Newcastle are running the clock down and finding it fairly straight forward to defend against this Huddersfield attack.

The Terriers seem to have run out of ideas as we enter the closing stages but they still have time.

Huddersfield have a 10th corner of the match. They've had plenty of set-piece opportunities but the quality of delivery has not been there.

But Juninho Bacuna rolls it wide. Another let-off for the visitors. Can they see this out?

The frustration is clear on David Wagner's face. Huddersfield have done everything but score.

Rafael Benitez makes a change as we enter the last 20 minutes.

Ki Sung-yueng is off, replaced by Isaac Hayden.

Laurent Depoitre continues to pester the Newcastle defence but it's just not falling for Huddersfield in the penalty area.

The home crowd has gone very quiet now, the story of their season so far is looking like it may continue...

Rafael Benitez is getting something from Salomon Rondon that other managers could not. He looks effective, he is always an outlet and he is always chasing balls down. This game is going to go down to the wire

Ah, the ball has gone flat. There's a joke in there somewhere.

Huddersfield have managed to gather themselves since falling behind and are continuing to dominate the possession, but they just can't create that clear-cut opportunity they need.

Newcastle have men behind the ball and are looking dangerous on the counter whenever the Terriers get too comfortable...

Chris Lowe forces a great save from Martin Dubravka, but the Newcastle goalkeeper is equal to it once more - diving low to his left.

That's Lowe's last kick of the game however as he and Terence Kongolo are replaced by Ramadan Sobhi and Erik Durm.

Richard, Blyth: Robbie Millar is clearly a Sunderland fan who got lost looking for the League One scores! On a wind up looking for a bit of festive cheer!

David, York:I think I just read that someone thinks that David Moyes is a better, more passionate manager than Rafa Benitez. It must have been my afternoon nap at half-time. Awake now and all back to normal.

Steve Robson, Newcastle: Robbie Millar from York is obviously on the mulled wine in the Christmas markets.

Kenedy seems to be going with a 'hit and hope' approach today.

He's already booted it out for a corner in this half and now he's just launched a shot into row Z.

Certainly not his, or Newcastle's, day so far.

Huddersfield begin as they ended the first half, asking more questions of the Newcastle defence.

They earn a corner but Juninho Bacuna can't produce a decent enough cross for his side. He has another opportunity just moments later but again can't get the height required.

More wasted opportunities for the hosts.

Back underway!

Huddersfield dominated that first half, will we see more of the same?

Robbie Millar, York: Am I crazy to think that Newcastle's goose is completely cooked? The way we have been playing it is going to be goodnight Vienna to Rafa before Christmas. Hope Moyes comes in and gets the passion seeping through the veins of the boys in black and white again!

If you are under siege, and Newcastle are to some extent, you have got to withstand that.

You have got to batten down the hatches, battle and get to half-time. You have to earn the right to play and Newcastle are doing that.
