Huddersfield Football Club has made history by returning to the English Premier League after a nerve-wracking penalty shoot-out win against Reading.
Terriers secured a return to top tier football after 45 years with a 4-3 win on penalties against a Reading side tutored by Jaap Stam.
That long road back to the top came to a head on Saturday as David Wagner’s men beat Reading 4-3 on penalties with Christopher Schindler ending the Royals’ hopes and earning his club at least £170 million in one ice cold moment.
The 120 minutes of football was more about two teams terrified to lose, rather than being brave enough to win.
Huddersfield will be the underdogs every match they play in next season but their fans don’t care. However, the club chairman Dean Hoyle will be looking to emulate Swansea City and Bournemouth rather than Hull City as they keep the Yorkshire presence in the Premier League.
