Last updated : 25 September 2004 By Ciderjar
Gas 1-0 down at Northampton already!! Roberts has a chance but flicks it just wide. Murray HEADS his 50th league goal for City.

1-0 (9 mins)

Huddersfield are creating chances. An open game, which will suit City. Doherty has a shot deflected behind and Orr volleys over from the corner. Murray crosses for Lita who clips a shot over. Huddersfield hit the post at the other end as Booth and Abbott combine well.

Gas go 2-0 down at Northampton Scott McGleish has got both of them. Bournemouth are already 4-0 up at home to Doncaster Rovers, and go above City on goal difference. Rovers have Hunt sent off as the day becomes a good one. But then, a right footed finish from Danny Schoffield, from an Abbott cross, equalises for Huddersfield.

1-1 (28 mins)

Luton go 1-0 up again. Abbott shoots just wide for Huddersfield from distance. Abbott then runs through the City defence to put Huddersfield in the lead.

1-2 (35 mins)

Bradley Orr is booked for a bad challenge. City looking rattled. Huddersfield go close again as Schofield clips the ball just over the bar. A City corner in the second minute of injury time comes to nothing.

HT 1-2

Scott Murray causing havoc in the Huddersfield defence at the start of the second half. Heffernan and Tinnion come on for Roberts and Orr 6 minutes gone. Murrays cross shot is put behind for a corner. Murray crosses and Heffernan is just beaten to it. A sucession of corners must surely produce a goal? Heffernan gets pushed in the back in the box but no penalty for nearly two years now for City.

Huddersfield break and Brandon scores

1-3 (60 mins)

Scott Murray misses when cleasn through. And then is denied another headed goal by the keeper. A Tinnion shot is deflected for yet another corner, City's tenth of the afternoon. A freekick from Wilkshire is saved by the keeper, City's umpteenth goal attempt but they can't score. A wilkshire shot is deflected by ex-Gasman Yates.

Lita is tugged back in the box and City win their first penalty for a long long time. Lita who missed one of the penalties against Everton will take it. He SCORES!!!! His 9th of the season.

2-3 (82 mins)

A cross from Murray is parried by the keeper, it falls to Lita whose shot is cleared off the line to Heffernan who miscues and the ball loops just wide. Jamie Smith goes off and Lee Miller comes on as City try and get what they deserve from this game by going to a 3-4-3 formation. Five minutes left.

Heffernan shoots just wide with the keeper beaten. Lita is tackled in the penalty area for a corner. Shot from Luke Wilkshire is deflected into the net for a much deserved equaliser.

3-3 (90 mins)

3 minutes of stoppage time. Lita flashes a header just wide with less than a minute left. The whisle goes for full time. A pulsating game with a magnificent second half performance from City but all they get is a point.
