Michal Helik goal sees Huddersfield rescue point at home to bottom side Burton

Promotion hopefuls Huddersfield rescued a point late on at home to bottom side Burton in a 1-1 draw at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Burton took a shock lead after 13 minutes as Rumarn Burrell blazed away from his man up the right wing and cut back for the unmarked Charlie Webster to lob home.

Brodie Spencer had a great chance to equalise within a few minutes but glanced Ben Wiles’ crossed free-kick wide of a post.

Burton should have doubled their lead early in the second half after Burrell again got free up the right but Danilo Orsi had his point-blank effort saved by Jacob Chapman.

The game was otherwise one-way traffic, though, and after being denied by several last-ditch interventions, Huddersfield finally found an equaliser after 88 minutes thanks to centre-back Michal Helik’s header.

Burton had to play out injury time with 10 men after Terence Vancooten was shown a second yellow card, with Huddersfield boss Michael Duff soon following him down the tunnel with a red card of his own.
