#2. Huddersfield Town's magnificent defensive display deserved three points

What a performance when the team needed it the most.

Tommy Smith, Christopher Schindler, Mathias Jorgenson, Chris Löwe deserved the standing ovation they received (Tommy Smith's battle with Anthony Martial well and truly won by the Englishman - the Frenchman's yellow card and substitution at half-time a true vindication of his victory over the previously indomitable Martial) and credit too has to go to Danny Williams and Aaron Mooy who along with the back four and the tireless running of the forwards Ince, van La Parra and the excellent Laurent Depoitre formed an impenetrable fortress in front of Jonas Lossl... that the keeper had surprisingly little to do all is a testament to the defensive organisation of Wagner's unit.

They threw their bodies on the line, held a wonderful high line when needed, and pressed Manchester United off the park in the first half - a half-asleep United standing no chance.

If their first win over United since 1952 proved anything, it's that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the Premier League.
