Huddersfield Town won 4-1 at Peterborough United, with striker Joe Taylor scoring twice in the second half.
Huddersfield Town defeated Peterborough United 4-1 on Tuesday at Accu Stadium. Ilias Bronkhorst gave Town an early lead before Joe Taylor struck twice in the second half. Taylor scored in the 66th minute after intercepting a pass on halfway and racing through on goal to slot past goalkeeper Alex Bass. Harry Leonard halved the deficit for Peterborough two minutes later, but Taylor scored his second in the 70th minute, turning in Marcus Harness' cross with a first-time finish. Bali Mumba wrapped up the victory 11 minutes from time.
The win moved Huddersfield to second place in League One with 22 points from 11 matches played. Taylor's two goals took his season tally to eight from 12 appearances, leaving him joint second in the League One goalscoring charts.
Head coach Martin Drury praised Taylor's performance after the interval. 'I'm pleased to see the quality of his finishes, because I thought both were really, really good finishes,' Drury told BBC Radio Leeds. He said Taylor showed improved composure and positioning, and was pleased that Taylor responded after an underwhelming first half.
