In the end, a really good 3 points.

The struggle was self-inflicted with Emery's odd starting XI and the players themselves lacking sharpness everywhere.

With Huddersfield allowed to hack at will, the referee being dreadful, the linesmen being just as bad, not to mention the incessant interruptions and time-wasting, the fact that we strung any football together was almost a miracle.

Auba and Laca continue to miss easy chances. At least our best finisher, Monreal, is back.
