A Bakary Sako strike in the 13th minute for Crystal Palace was enough to send a lacklustre Huddersfield Town out of this season’s Carabao Cup.
Joe Lolley was guilty of a poor back pass which led to all sorts of problems for the Terriers backline with the resultant Andros Townsend corner nodded home by Sako.
And although head coach David Wagner brought on talisman Aaron Mooy in the second-half in search of the elusive equaliser, it was not to be.
But who was Huddersfield Town's Man of the Match? Have a look below at Blake Welton’s assessment and have your say with our gadget as well.
Joel Coleman
Didn’t have much to do other than pick the ball out of the net for Bakary Sako’s goal - 6
Florent Hadergjonaj
Had his work cut-out with the overlapping threat of Patrick van Aanholt but handled it well - 6
Martin Cranie
Solid return after a long injury lay-off, covering for his colleagues admirably a number of times - 7
Michael Hefele
Beaten for pace a couple of times, still looks slightly off it after his continued Achilles problems - 6
Scott Malone
Assured both defensively and going forward - a great acquisition over the summer - 7
Philip Billing
Flashes of brilliance were too often mixed with sloppy play and poor positioning in patches - 6
Jonathan Hogg
Captain for the night, it was great to see his return despite it being somewhat low-key - 6
Joe Lolley
His poor mis-placed pass led to Crystal Palace’s goal and he was replaced at half-time - 5
Tom Ince
Tried to get Town going with the side too often static and lacklustre in the final third - 6
Rajiv van La Parra
Positive throughout, the Dutchman looked Town’s only real legitimate threat going forward - 7 (MOTM)
Elias Kachunga
Moved into the centre-forward role well but was too often isolated and frustrated - 7
Substitutes
Abdelhamid Sabiri (for Joe Lolley, 46) -Showed flashes of what he can do on his introduction - 6
Aaron Mooy (for Tom Ince, 69) - His sheer presence buoyed a lacklustre showing - 7
Dean Whitehead (for Jonathan Hogg, 70) - A more than able deputy in the middle - 6
