A quick glance at the numbers reveals it was a story of possession versus chances created that decided Saturday’s clash with Middlesbrough - when Huddersfield Town fell 2-0 to Aitor Karanka’s men in David Wagner’s first home game.
Town were applauded off the pitch at the final whistle despite the result, and plenty of you got in touch to share your excitement after witnessing a slick passing style in which the Terriers dictated the tempo and restricted the promotion-chashing away side to a mere three shots on goal.
Wagner called the result “ridiculous” on balance of play, and the statistics back the boss.
Huddersfield had 75.3% possession over the 90 minutes - an astonishing number, especially against opponents who have designs on a return to the Premier League come the end of the current campaign.
That amounted to a total of 742 passes compared to Boro's 249.
Meanwhile, they also took care of the ball, recording a 85.8% passing accuracy - compared to just 57% for the away side, a number that reflects Wagner's ideal of winning the ball back high up the pitch and putting the opposition under pressure when they have the ball.
Many Town fans also expressed admiration at the quick, short passing game which has become a feature of the last two games. Far from playing route one football, just 10.2% of Town's passes were long, while Boro resorted to the tactic 30.9% of the time.
Wagner has spoken of speed, passion and keeping the ball, and his charges certainly appear to have bought into his ethos.
However, possession doesn't automatically translate into points and it was the away end who were celebrating at the final whistle.
Ultimately, Boro were more clinical and Town were made to pay for failing to create many chances, and struggling to take the ones they had.
Of their three shots on goal, Boro got all three on target and scored with two of them. Contrast that to Town's six total shots, of which three were on target and none hit the back of the net.
It's not difficult to see why lots of you are drawing up January shopping lists featuring a striker as priority.
Wagner made the decision to go for youth over experience and handed loanee Ben Chilwell his league debut.
Although the youngster from Leicester said the result took the gloss off his first professional appearance, he had a great start to his Huddersfield career on the left hand side and was at the heart of the action.
Middlesbrough have favoured their right hand side so far this season and so it proved, with 44.6% of their moves coming down Chilwell's area of the pitch.
On the other hand, he was at the centre of Town's attacks, bombing forward to support Nahki Wells and Jamie Paterson.
The role of the full back is crucial in Wagner's system, but crossing was one of the weaker areas of Town's game, with only 13% of crosses finding a Huddersfield shirt throughout the 90 minutes.
However, only two weeks' in to Wagner's reign at the John Smith's Stadium the numbers are looking far healthier.
Huddersfield dropped into the relegation zone at the weekend, but if they can add a finishing touch to their attractive passing game, there is plenty for fans to look forward to over the coming weeks and months.
