Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan praised his side’s character after they claimed a 3-2 victory at Bristol City on Saturday – their first away victory since September.

Andreas Weimann gave City the perfect start, tapping into an empty net from Antoine Semenyo’s low cross inside two minutes.

Three minutes later City goalkeeper Dan Bentley saved a Danny Ward spot-kick after Zak Vyner fouled Lewis O’Brien inside the box. The visitors struck blows either side of half-time, Duane Holmes getting the equaliser in the 41st minute and Daniel Sinani firing them in front a minute after the break.

Ward made it 3-1 after 55 minutes, heading in a deflected cross from Sorba Thomas. And it was not until the death that Weimann added a second for the hosts after the game had been held up by crowd trouble when missiles were thrown onto the pitch as Town prepared to take a corner.

“It was a performance of great character,” said Corberan. “We could have been badly affected by conceding an early goal and missing a penalty.

“Instead, we responded positively to get a really important result, not least because it was away from home.

“It was good for Danny Ward to score after having his penalty saved and the character of the whole team was challenged by the way we started the game.
