Huddersfield Town kicked off their incredible 2016/17 season with a 2-1 win over Brentford in August.

Elias Kachunga and Kasey Palmer scored either side of a Nico Yennaris equaliser to hand Town an opening day victory over the Bees.

Brentford had beaten Town 5-1 at the John Smith's Stadium on the final day of the 2015/16 campaign, but David Wagner's side showed they were a force to be reckoned with this season with a dominant display in West Yorkshire.
