A last-gasp Collin Quaner goal gave Huddersfield Town a crucial SkyBet Championship win over Preston North End at the John Smith's Stadium.

The German forward was the quickest to react after Aaron Mooy’s penalty was saved by PNE goalkeeper Chris Maxwell in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

In an opening 45 minutes in which David Wagner's side dominated, the visitors took a surprise lead through Aiden McGeady's superb strike before Elias Kachunga headed level for the hosts just before the interval.

The home side then took the lead in the second-half through Jack Payne’s diving header before Jordan Hugill made it 2-2.

And as the game looked to be heading for a point apiece, Town were awarded a penalty after Kachunga was fouled in the penalty box with Quaner tucking home the rebound from Mooy's thwarted attempt.

Tommy Smith

Not in the game as much as normal but his effort and energy can never be questioned - 7

Chris Lowe

Was busy as ever making himself available with his overlapping runs down the wings - 7

Christopher Schindler

The German defender was solid at the back as ever and marshaled the defence well - 7

Michael Hefele

The fans favourite's passing was slightly off but nonetheless made some important clearances when necessary - 7

Unlucky to see his penalty saved but was a controlling influence throughout and assisted in Town’s first goal -7

Another frustrating day at the office where nothing came off for the Dutch winger despite his best efforts - 6
