Video: Nahki Wells Scores Against Cardiff City

January 31, 2016

[Updated with video] Bermuda’s Nahki Wells continues to show fine form, scoring in Saturday’s match against Cardiff City, however it wasn’t enough to propel his team to a win, with Huddersfield going down 3-2 to Cardiff City.

The club’s match report said, “Mistakes cost Town dearly at the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with visitors Cardiff City continuing their recent impressive record over the Terriers in the Sky Bet Championship.

“A poor first half showing led to Peter Whittingham giving the visitors a lead from Anthony Pilkington’s cross, but David Wagner’s side did respond through top scorer Nahki Wells to go in level at the interval.

“Town improved in the second 45 minutes to create a number of chances before a mistake in possession was punished with a Lex Immers goal before Whittingham got his second with a typically excellent free kick.

“Harry Bunn gave Town hope of a comeback in added time, but it was a case of ‘too little, too late’ for Wagner’s men.

“Former Town man Pilkington – playing as an out-and-out striker – received a pass inside the Town area and did well to squeeze the ball past Martin Cranie and back to the penalty spot from the dead ball line, where Whittingham strode onto it and placed past Jed Steer with his right foot.

“However Town responded well and equalised within three minutes through Bermudian Wells. After receiving a pass from Paterson on the edge of the Cardiff box, Nahki used Matmour’s run down the right as a decoy before turning onto his left foot and firing past David Marshall on his left foot from 20 yards out.

“Town made it interesting in the 92nd minute after Wells played Harry Bunn through on goal – the attacker expertly smashing past Marshall for his fifth of the season after a nice first touch – but Cardiff saw out the game for three away points.”

    The first touch on the last goal was sublime. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Great pass by Nahki on it as well
