Huddersfield Town were beaten 2-0 by Everton at the John Smith’s Stadium today to dent the Terriers’ survival hopes.
Cenk Tosun put the visitors ahead in the first half against the run of play before Idrissa Gana Gueye secured all three points after the interval.
The loss cuts Town’s advantage over the bottom three to just three points with Southampton beating AFC Bournemouth at St Mary’s.

Christopher Schindler
Read the game well and marshalled Town’s back four well against a talented Everton side. - 7 (MOTM)

Won everything in the air, but could have brought down Theo Walcott ahead of the goal. - 7
Florent Hadergjonaj
Caused problems by the pace of Theo Walcott but drove Town forward on the right. - 6

Fought hard in the middle of the park. Subbed off for a more creative option. - 7

Collin Quaner
Couldn’t get the ball out of his feet and didn’t cause the visitors many problems.- 5

A lively match from the Dutchman, but it was his sloppy ball that led to the opening goal. - 6
