Huddersfield Town maintained their 100 per cent home record and stayed top of the Championship with a 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers.

But it was harder than it needed to be after visiting substitute Idrissa Sylla headed home in the 77th minute to set up a nervy finale - especially with six minutes of injury time added on.

Before then Town had seemed well in control after goals from Kasey Palmer in the 14th and Elias Kachunga in the 62nd minutes.

A fourth home win and sixth in all was seen by 20,595, the biggest league gate at the John Smith's Stadium so far this season.
