Andy Booth's late header secured a fourth win in five games for Huddersfield and piled on more misery for relegation-threatened Carlisle.

The Terriers created the better chances, Nathan Clarke hitting the bar with a header and Gary Roberts seeing his strike come back off a post.

Lewis Neal wasted Carlisle's best chance, shooting wide when well placed.

But veteran striker Booth secured the win when he rose to head in substitute Michael Flynn's inviting cross.
