Terrier-ific!

HOLMES DOUBLE STUNS SWANS

- Ian Murtagh

HUDDERSFIELD turned the form book upside down with a second-half goal blitz to bring Swansea’s nine-game unbeaten run to a shattering end.

With the Terriers winless this year it looked an away-day banker, especially after Conor Hourihane cancelled out Fraizer Campbell’s opener with a blistering free-kick just before half-time.

Instead, it all went horribly wrong for the Swans, with Lewis O’Brien’s goal and a double from American Duane Holmes sending Carlos Corberan’s side out of sight with three goals in seven incredible minutes.

And to complete a nightmare day for the Welsh side, Jordan Morris – one of five subs Steve Cooper had sent on before the hour mark – was stretchered off in agony after stumbling on the ball and landing awkwardly.

It led to a five-minute stoppage and left Swansea having to play the last 25 minutes with 10 men. “Fingers crossed for him but it does not look good,” said Swans boss Cooper.
