Huddersfield Town booked a spot in the third round of the Carabao Cup tonight with a comeback victory over Rotherham United.
The Terriers conceded in the second minute, and were unable to break down the Millers' resistance in the first half, but the introduction of Philip Billing at half time sparked the Terriers into life.
The big Dane converted from the spot after Laurent Depoitre was held in the area, before Joe Lolley sealed the victory for Town.
Here are you quick-fire talking points from today's match.
Key Moment
Philip Billlng’s early penalty conversion in the second-half quickly set Town on their way to normal service resuming after a low-key opening 45 minutes.
Moan of the Match
Town’s ineffectiveness in the final third in the first-half drew parallels to the defeats at home to Burton Albion and Wigan Athletic last season.
Talking Point
Does David Wagner really need to acquire another right-back after an assured debut from youngster Jordan Williams?
Man of the Match
Joe Lolley: Looks fitter, stronger and more confident since the summer break and deserved his goal
Tweet of the Match
Not technically game-related, but it was sent out during the match...
Referee Watch
Peter Bankes - Let the game ebb and flow without any major issues and got the big decisions right
Atmosphere
Not bad from the 8,290 who turned up for a competition which is much derided and devalued in the football word.
Verdict
It won’t live long in the memory but, other than the occasional scare, a relatively routine win and passage into the next round.
