Wagner: Their goals were gifts

Published on: 23 September 2018

David Wagner thought his Huddersfield Town side presented Leicester City with all of their goals as the Terriers slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium.

Town are 4/11 to be relegated this season after failing to win any of their first six Premier League matches while they are 6/1 to end that sequence by beating Tottenham next weekend.

After Mathias Jorgensen had given Huddersfield an early advantage, the Foxes hit back to win thanks to goals by Kelechi Iheanacho, James Maddison and Jamie Vardy.

A dejected Wagner said after his side's latest setback: "In general it was very disappointing because everyone has seen there was something in this game for us.

"The players performed to a decent level, but we made so many big individual mistakes. Their first goal was a poor touch and we conceded a counter-attack from our own set-play.

"With the second goal we gave away a free-kick in a very dangerous area when we could very easily have cleared the ball and then, for the third one, we produced a missed pass in an area where everybody knows this is not possible against a team like Leicester, because of them playing in behind.

"Jamie Vardy has scored a hundred of these goals, so every single goal we conceded was a present. The opposition didn't have to invest enough to score against us."
