Huddersfield secured a 1-0 victory over Sunderland with Matty Pearson scoring the decisive goal. The win under interim manager Jon Worthington marks their second consecutive home win and lifts them five points clear of the Championship relegation zone. Sunderland’s three games unbeaten run came to an end and they missed a chance to move into the playoff places.
Huddersfield dominated with aggressive play and Pearson’s goal resulted from a well executed training ground move. Sunderland had opportunities but Huddersfield goalkeeper Lee Nicholls made crucial saves. Despite his reluctance for the permanent role Worthington’s positive impact on the team is evident.
Sunderland manager Michael Beale expressed disappointment with conceding a set-play goal and acknowledged shortcomings in both boxes. The win boosts Huddersfield’s fight for survival while Sunderland aims to address defensive issues.
