Huddersfield Town’s head coach, Jan Siewert, expressed bitter disappointment regarding the controversial events that unfolded in their recent match against Bristol City, which cost the Terriers two crucial points in their battle for survival.

Siewert revealed that the club was contacted by PGMOL (Professional Game Management Officials Limited) to acknowledge that the decision to award Bristol City a highly questionable penalty in stoppage time of the 1-1 draw at Ashton Gate was incorrect.

Now faced with the task of lifting spirits within the team following this unfortunate turn of events, Siewert aims to galvanize his players and refocus their efforts as they continue their fight to avoid relegation.
