Huddersfield Town conceded twice in the final minutes to draw 2-2 at home to Sheffield Wednesday after leading 2-0.

Huddersfield Town led 2-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday through goals from Joe Taylor and Derensili Sanches Fernandes but conceded twice in the final minutes to draw 2-2. Ibane Bowat's own goal came in the 88th minute, halving the deficit. Jamal Lowe then netted from the penalty spot in the eighth minute of stoppage time to deny Town the victory.

The penalty decision proved controversial. Referee Edward Duckworth initially awarded a corner kick before consulting the linesman and changing his mind to award a spot kick instead, penalising Marcus Harness for a high boot on Liam Cooper. Midfielder Archie Collins said his side were 'very disappointed' with the late setback. 'The game's 90, 100 minutes long, and there are things that we didn't do quite well, and got punished for it,' he told BBC Radio Leeds. 'We'll do it together as a team, and I'm sure we'll work on it in the future, and hopefully it won't happen again.'

Head coach Martin Drury insisted his side would 'move forward with belief' despite the loss. He said the team had been 'excellent for long periods' and 'dominant', but acknowledged lapses in concentration after conceding the first goal. 'We didn't work hard enough to stop crosses after that, we didn't make first contacts in the box after that,' Drury told BBC Radio Leeds.
