With Southampton beating Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 and Burnley 2-0 winners over Wolverhampton Wanderers, it put Huddersfield Town 19 points off safety with only six matches remaining. 

It means their stay of two seasons in the Premier League will come to an end. 

"I think the fans realise what we are doing," head coach Jan Siewert told Huddersfield's official website.

"There are certain things that go wrong in a season, and we have to find all the things that we are willing to do as a club.

"It's great, and the supporters are part of that, and they help to bring us in the right direction.

"We are really focusing on the stuff that went wrong, and finding a better way to come back stronger."
