HUDDERSFIELD Town manager Darren Moore labelled his side's 1-1 draw with Saints as a "special result" due to the extent of their injury crisis. 

Saints boss Russell Martin said his team were “frustrated and angry” at their failure to hold on for victory over battling Huddersfield.

The visitors dominated the first half with 82 percent possession but only broke the deadlock just before the interval through Adam Armstrong.

A rejuvenated Town took the second half by storm and Ben Jackson’s 87th-minute equaliser earned them a point.

The Terriers were without their number one goalkeeper and could name only seven of an allowed nine substitutes, before losing two more players to injury in the first half. 

Huddersfield boss Moore insisted: “The way we went about the game, I thought the boys were unjust to go in at half-time a goal down.

“It’s just a lapse of concentration. I didn’t alter my team talk, it was just for us to get higher up the pitch.

“We could’ve capitalised better on some chances, but I can’t criticise the players because they are doing the right things.

“We had a glorious chance with Sorba Thomas and we had the momentum going forward," the former Sheffield Wednesday man added. 

“On the balance of the play, we deserved that today. We got the performance right today in terms of how we managed the game.

“We have had to tighten things up and we capitalised on the counter. How we used the ball during moments was a positive and it’s all credit to the work that everyone has put in recently.

“Today’s result is a special result because of the injuries and who we had available to us at short notice.

“Southampton are an outstanding team and they asked a lot of questions of us, so to set up like we did today we had to be spot on.

“We could have shown a little bit more composure with some of our chances, but that’ll come. Overall it’s a good performance.

“To see us all on the same page and to get that result, everybody can be really pleased with it.”
