Huddersfield Town boosted their Premier League survival hopes with a goalless draw at Manchester City in Sunday’s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Huddersfield gave City a guard of honour ahead of the match, but the Terriers showed no respect during the 90 minutes as they secured a hard-earned point against the champions.
The draw has seen David Wagner’s side move three points clear of the relegation zone with two matches of the 2017-18 campaign left to play.
Chances were coming at either end, and Kevin De Bruyne struck just past Lossl’s post in the 13th minute, before Ederson had to fly across his goal to keep out a long-range Alex Pritchard attempt.
The home side continued to dominate the ball, but they were finding it difficult to create opportunities, and Huddersfield remained comfortable as the final 20 minutes approached.
Gabriel Jesus headed over the away side’s crossbar in the 80th minute as Huddersfield escaped a dangerous moment, before Bernardo Silva flashed one wide of the post in the 84th minute.
Benjamin Mendy then struck over the crossbar two minutes later as opportunities continued to arrive, but Huddersfield almost won it in the closing moments when Scott Malone broke into the City box, only to fire straight at Ederson as the points were shared at the Etihad Stadium.
