NEIL Warnock said Huddersfield’s incredible second-half comeback ranked alongside the best wins of his 43-year career.
Down, out and utterly dominated for 45 minutes, the Terriers scored four goals in 21 minutes as in-form Middlesbrough inexplicably capitulated.
Josh Ruffels’ sublime solo effort cancelled out Michael Forss’ first-half opener, before Josh Koroma and an unlikely Matty Pearson brace spun the game on its head.
Chuba Akpom pulled one back, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Huddersfield claiming a famous win that moves them to within a point of Championship safety.
“That’s probably as good a result as I’ve ever had in my career,” said Warnock, who joined the Terriers on a short-term deal in February when the club were four points adrift of safety.
“Especially given the opponents. Middlesbrough are that good, I actually left out a lot of my pre-match analysis. I had a guy at Preston (where Boro won 4-0) and when I asked him for his report he said ‘You don’t want to know, gaffer’. So I just didn’t show the lads.
