A second-half Tommy Smith strike gave Huddersfield Town victory over Aston Villa for the first time in 48 years, keeping the pressure on the top two in the SkyBet Championship.
In a tight contest, the full-back smashed home the only goal of the game in the 69th minute after a clever training ground corner.
Aaron Mooy found Smith in acres of room and the right-back arrowed a fierce shot across goal - nestling into the far corner.
There were many stand out performers, with Smith an obvious candidate for the man of the match award.
However, Michael Hefele was our pick of the bunch, with the big German keeping Villa's top scorer Jonathan Kodjia quiet for the whole match alongside Christopher Schindler who also performed well throughout the encounter.
Have a look below at Examiner Football Writer Blake Welton's assessment and have your say with our gadget as well.
Joel Coleman
An early save from James Bree would have calmed any post-Newcastle United nerves and the young stopper looked assured from there onwards - 7 (out of 10)
Tommy Smith
Huddersfield Town’s most improved player under David Wagner came up with another crucial goal - 8
Chris Lowe
Another assured display from the German full-back - constantly bringing the ball out from the back calmly and looking menacing going forward - 7
Christopher Schindler
Dealt with Aston Villa’s physical threat well alongside Michael Hefele and didn’t put a foot wrong all game - 7
Michael Hefele
First Clayton Donaldson (Birmingham City), then Britt Assombalonga (Nottingham Forest) and now 15-goal Villa forward Jonathan Kodjia all seen off with aplomb - 8
Aaron Mooy
His usual creative self - it was great too see his partnership with Jonathan Hogg resumed in the middle of the pitch - 7
Jonathan Hogg
Slow to get into the game after his recent injury lay-off but was back to his commanding best by the end of the game - 7
Elias Kachunga
Worked hard and combined well with Tommy Smith but struggled to get any real shot away all night - 7
Izzy Brown
A few neat touches from the on-loan Chelsea man but he was marshaled well by Villa’s Mile Jedinak before being replaced - 6
Rajiv van La Parra
If the flying Dutchman had an end-product he would be a real menace in this league - sadly it continues to elude him - 6
Collin Quaner
A few neat lay-offs but too often strayed out wide when he would have been more effective through the middle - 6
Substitutes
Nahki Wells (for Izzy Brown, 68) -Within a minute was involved in the action and did well for the corner which led to the goal - 7
Martin Cranie (for Rajiv van La Parra, 84) - Couldn't really make an impact late on - 5
Philip Billing (for Collin Quaner, 88) -Didn’t have long enough to make an impact - 5
