Huddersfield 3 - 2 Peterborough

Huddersfield held on despite a second-half fightback from Peterborough to book their place in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy area quarter-finals.

Graham Carey gave the Terriers an early lead when his 25-yard shot crept through Posh keeper Joe Lewis's legs.

Anthony Pilkington then struck from 20 yards before beating three defenders to curl his second past Lewis.

Aaron Mclean and Mark Little both headed home after the break to give Posh hope but Huddersfield held on.

Huddersfield Town assistant manager Terry McDermott told BBC Radio Leeds: "We've got aspirations to go to Wembley this year, it would be fantastic for the fans, and we're absolutely delighted to have won the game.

"Our first half performance was very, very good against a strong team, and I thought the lads that came in did a great job today.

"We could have been four or five up, and then the second half was a different game - they made us work hard and what pleased me more than anything was that the players showed much this club means to them."

Peterborough United boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Cambridge:
"Unfortunately, we had a couple of poor mistakes that led to goals.

"Huddersfield came out of the traps well and we gifted them the first goal.

"In the second half we needed to change the mental state so we made three substitutes at half time."
