Neil Warnock's Huddersfield Town revival suffered a setback as the relegation-threatened Terriers were beaten 1-0 at Swansea City.

Ryan Manning's deflected shot secured deserved victory for a Swansea side who have found late-season form.

Huddersfield's first defeat in six games leaves them a point outside the Championship relegation zone in 19th.

Swansea remain in mid-table having stretched their unbeaten run to five matches.

Russell Martin's team have taken 13 points from the last 15 on offer to pull clear of a potential relegation scrap in some style.

But Huddersfield remain firmly in the fight to stay up with just four games of their traumatic campaign to come.
