Huddersfield Win First Premier League Game
With Bermudian striker Nahki Wells out with an ankle injury, his Huddersfield Town team made their English Premier League debut today [Aug 12] in spectacular fashion, earning a 3-0 win against Crystal Palace.
The club’s match report said, “The eagerly anticipated opening day of the season was a joyous occasion for Huddersfield Town supporters as a rampant David Wagner side left Selhurst Park with a deserved 3-0 victory.
“Steve Mounié’s brace along with an own-goal from Crystal Palace’s Joel Ward ensured Huddersfield Town’s life in the top flight of English football began in a superbly impressive fashion.
“Town’s first-ever game in the top-flight saw the men in navy and pink begin with a buoyant spring in their steps, showing exceptional levels of energy to press and hound the home side out of possession every time a pass was received into feet.”
