Huddersfield Town 2, Bristol City 1

But then Scott Murray headed wide from McAllister's free-kick before Jevons stretched at another Murray header, only for Glennon to smother the effort.

Abbott had a 26th-minute shot on the turn blocked, and Beckett tested Basso with a firm header from Andy Holdsworth's cross.

But City ended the first half on the attack, and Jevons, who netted twice for Yeovil at the Galpharm in April, was denied by Glennon with a header from McAllister's free-kick.

Hudson could have set up Chris Brandon seconds after the restart, but over-hit his pass, then Abbott had a shot saved after he capitalised on good work by Holdsworth and Taylor-Fletcher.

Jevons netted at the second attempt after his first effort from Bradley Orr's cross was blocked by Nathan Clarke.

It looked like the ex-Everton man's double for Yeovil was going to be repeated when he lashed in a left-footer on 52 minutes, but Glennon, who produced another solid display, came to the rescue.

And three minutes after Beckett's strike, the Town frontman came oh so close to a second, only for Basso to climb high and collect a shot which looked destined for his top left-hand corner.
