Huddersfield Town drew 1-1 with Stoke City on Boxing Day as neither side was able to land a knockout punch on the other.

Tom Ince opened the scoring for the Terriers with his first competitive goal for Town, before Egypt international winger Ramadan Sobhi ensured the Potters would leave West Yorkshire with a point.

In what was an entertaining game at the John Smith's Stadium, referee Anthony Taylor denied both teams a spot kick, despite replays showing both sides had a strong shout for a penalty.

David Wagner and Mark Hughes will likely touch on these contentious topics in their post-match press conference, which we are in place at the John Smith's for.

Stick with us here for both bosses' reactions to the game and the key incidents.

Happy?

I would say it’s a fair result if we count the clear-cut chances.

Everybody’s putting timelines on me, but in recent weeks we haven’t done too badly.

Good value

Top keepers save you points, protect you leads and give you results.

The top clubs have one and we have one as well [Butland].

But that’s what he’s there for.

Encouragement

Performance-wise we’ve always been in games.

We lost two games to last-minute goals.

We were very much in those game - we haven’t been being outplayed.

We needed that little bit of luck to change our way.

Penalties

I don’t think [Mooy] was ever in good possession of the ball.

Whether that’s influenced the referee for ours, you’ll have to ask him.

Town

They are very open when they lose the ball.

It was a bit of a basketball game.

That’s been the story since the start of the season.

On the line

We’ve had an unbelievable scramble in the box and it still didn’t go over the line.

Unfortunately from our point of view it’s a half an inch on the line.

Hughes

It’s the Stoke boss first.
