  3. 'We dominated from start to finish' - Parkerpublished at 21:56 British Summer Time 16 August 2019

    FT: Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Fulham boss Scott Parker tells Sky Sports: "The Barnsley game was probably a wake-up call for us, maybe mentally. Tonight we dominated from start to finish, so I'm really pleased.

    "The second half from us was exceptional tonight. We took massive risk and bravery in the way we played and ultimately that pleases me the most.

    "We've got back-to-back wins now and as long as the players keep improving and listening, I expect us to have a strong season."

    This result will no doubt ramp up the pressure on Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert, whose side are enduring a horrible run stretching back to last season.

    They've won once in his 19 games in charge.

    Ivan Cavaleiro adds to Sky Sports:

    "It wasn't the best first half in my career, so I have to thank my team-mates for supporting me at half-time. Their support was key."

  6. Reaction - Cairney on Cavaleiropublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 16 August 2019

    FT: Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Fulham's Tom Cairney praises the role of match-winner Ivan Cavaleiro after the break, telling Sky Sports: "He showed what he's about in the second half. He's a frightening winger in this league. Hopefully his goal is the first of many.

    "Last season we didn't do the ugly side of the game, but we have a foundation to do that and then allow these boys to play."

    It's over and there are boos from the home fans. They're fed up with losing.

    Fulham showed class at times and probably deserve their win, having created the better chances.

    Huddersfield have a late, late free-kick and the keeper is coming up! It's August!

    Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Fulham's Harry Arter is down with cramp, which of course adds to the Huddersfield fans' annoyance.

  11. Postpublished at 90+4 mins

    Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Huddersfield heave the ball deep to Terence Kongolo on the far side of the penalty area but his low cross can't quite reach Steve Mounie in the middle.

    The home fans are getting more and more frustrated and desperate.

  12. SUBSTITUTION (Fulham)published at 90+2 mins

    Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Anthony Knockaert jogs off slowly and he's replaced by Maxime Le Marchand, as Fulham bid to see out the win and get themselves up to six points from their first three league games.

    There'll be at least five minutes added on, which gets a roar from the home fans.

    Meanwhile, Huddersfield are getting ever closer to yet another defeat.

    Jan Siewert - whose side have not won since February - is stood with his hands on his hips, looking concerned.

    Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic - this is shameful behaviour.

    He's involved in a tangle near the corner flag with Rajiv van La Parra, and he's holding the Huddersfield subsitute's leg. He then grabs his face as if in agony.

    But there was no contact whatsoever from van La Parra on Mitrovic's face.

    Neither player is punished by the officials. Mitrovic gets up suddenly and his face is fine. Embarrasing stuff.

  16. GOOD SAVE!published at 85 mins

    Kamil Grabara is then forced in to a good save to keep out a Bobby Reid strike as Fulham try to seal it.

  18. SUBSTITUTION (Huddersfield)published at 84 mins

    Huddersfield 1-2 Fulham

    Elias Kachunga goes off and on comes striker Steve Mounie for the home side, who need a goal urgently.

    They also bring on Rajiv van La Parra for Alex Pritchard.

    And on the balance of play, that's a deserved goal for Fulham.

    GOAL: Huddersfield 1-2 Fulhampublished at 80 mins

    Ivan Cavaleiro

    Brilliant goal. Ivan Cavaleiro curls a beauty in to the far corner to potentially win this game for the visitors.

    I was about to tell you a decent Fulham move had broken down, but youngster Steven Sessegnon somehow kept the ball in play and lifted a deep cross to Aleksandar Mitrovic and they work the ball nicely to Cavaleiro, who provides the exquisite finish.
