Huddersfield Town boss Lee Grant delighted as his side soar to impressive away win at Mansfield Town
Huddersfield Town boss Lee Grant was a happy man after seeing his side destroy Mansfield Town with a sizzling away performance in today's 3-1 win.
The Stags started well but Bojan Radulovic netted for the Terriers after five minutes, Dion Charles added a second on 12 minutes and then came a deflected third for Lasse Sorensen on 15 minutes.
Were it not for some great saves by Liam Roberts and a disallowed goal for offside, it could have been even worse by the end of a first half totally dominated by the classy visitors.
Will Evans did pull one back after the break but Grant said: “It was really nice to bookend the international break with an outstanding performance at home, and then to come away from home and really pick up where we left off.
“We told the players before the game they needed to maintain the momentum they had clawed back across the previous Mansfield and Plymouth fixtures.
“So I was delighted they hit the ground running and it was a devastating first half.
“We knew it would be a tough game on a heavy pitch.
“Mansfield came out full of energy and they gave the manager the reaction he wanted and caused us a few issues which we had to get to grips with.
“But we wrestled control of the half and it was a performance of real intensity and aggression.
“I would have loved more goals. But we fully deserved the three we scored.”
After a run of bad results, Huddersfield are picking up momentum while seeing their injured players returning to action.
“I think we now have seven games in 22 days and for the first time in a really long time I am able to leave out exceptional players, who are not even on the bench,” he said.
“It is disappointing for them but a big plus for the club as we have not had the luxury of being able to do that.”
