Michael Collins struck in the third minute of injury-time to earn a third win in four games for Huddersfield and put them 12th in the table.

Collins, who had also scored in three of Town's previous four games, fired home after a backheel from Ian Craney.

Collins was earlier fouled for the penalty which was scored by Gary Roberts to put Huddersfield ahead.

Alex Nicholls equalised from 25 yards and team-mate Jabo Ibehre twice nearly won it before Collins struck.
