JACK HUNT revealed the key to Huddersfield Town’s first-leg success at MK Dons and called for more of the same as they bid to book a place in the Wembley play-off final.

The 21-year-old right-back scored his first goal in more than seven months to give Town a 2-0 advantage for tonight’s second game.

His sweet left-foot strike added to Jordan Rhodes’ 39th club goal of the season means MK Dons have it all to do, and Hunt believes a similar approach from the blue and white stripes will pay the desired dividend.

“Our game plan was to press them high up the pitch as a team, and it worked,” said Hunt, who is hitting impressive form at just the right time.

“We knew MK Dons would have a lot of the ball, but even when we couldn’t all go together (to press them) we just let them have the ball and kept a solid shape.

“I thought it worked well, because it allowed us to counter-attack them and get our goals and we were delighted.”

Hunt added: “I thought we started the game well at their place and put our plans into place.

“Away from home, we would have taken 0-0 at half-time, but Jordan’s goal settled a few nerves, and even though MK came at us at the start of the second half, we held on and were able to break forward and get the second goal.”

So have Town got one foot in Wembley already?

“I’m not going to say that and I don’t think anybody else will either because we know there is still a job to do,” he answered.

“We knew before the first leg that if the majority of players won their personal battles, we would do well, and it’s the same for the second leg.

“The team performance is all-important, and it just shows with a couple of vital saves that Ian Bennett made down there.

“He made a good block at the start of the second half and then a brilliant save right at the end to preserve the two-goal cushion.

“We would have taken a 2-1 win, of course, but 2-0 gives us a good platform to take it to them again in the second leg.

“It’s about taking on board what the manager wants us to do and going out there and getting the result that we all want.”
