Huddersfield vs Fulham LIVE: Latest score and goal updates from the John Smith's Stadium
Two of the early relegation candidates clash on Monday night when Huddersfield host Fulham in the Premier League.
The Terriers are yet to win a match with 10 games of the season having already passed, with just two goals coming in their last six matches.
The Cottagers meanwhile have the worst defensive record in the league with 28 goals conceded, a run which includes shipping 15 goals in their last four league games.
It's contrasting emotions for these two clubs. Fulham, having made a reasonable start to the season, are now in danger of falling adrift at the bottom. Time could be running out for Slaviša Jokanović.
Huddersfield's fans are revelling in their side's first win of the season. They were excellent tonight. David Wagner does a lap of the pitch, while his players take in the plaudits. They're now level on points with 17th placed Newcastle.
Full time: That's it! A massive three points for Huddersfield, who climb off the bottom of the table. Fulham fall to a sixth defeat in a row and take Huddersfield's place at the base of the Premier League standings.
Some strong tackles are flying in from both sides. Huddersfield have fought hard all night and they're determined to hold on to their lead. Fulham are desperate for a goal.
Isaac Mbenza comes on in place of Pritchard and is immediately involved. He's played through on goal but gets his finish all wrong, slicing it well wide.
Chance for Fulham. Schurrle breaks through on the left, drives towards goal and looks to pick out the far corner. But he puts it just wide and turns away with a look of anguish on his face.
The first sign of some nerves creeping into Huddersfield's game. They've looked comfortable throughout, and Fulham have hardly threatened. But their lead is still narrow and the visitors are certainly capable of levelling.
It's another opportunity for Fulham on the break, but again Schurrle can't stay onside. Mitrovic picks up a yellow card after making his frustration clear.
The hosts can sense the possibility of a second goal. Hadergjonaj is picked out on the right and puts in a dangerous cross. It's cleared, and from the resulting corner Pritchard fires a shot just over.
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports’ Premier League and Main Event channels from 7pm. The match will also be available on Now TV by grabbing a Sky Sports Day Pass for just £7.99.

Player to watch…
Tom Cairney: The Fulham captain returned for his first game since August when his side lost 2-0 at Manchester City in the EFL Cup in midweek. The Cottagers may be leaking plenty of goals currently but they are not scoring too many either and hopefully the recovery of the 27-year-old will bring that incision and creativity up front that Slavisa Jokanvovic will be crying out for.
