Managers Gary Monk and David Wagner were sent to the stands during stoppage time amid ugly scenes during Huddersfield’s 2 -1 win over Leeds United.
Michael Hafele’s controversial winner in stoppage team created dramatic scenes John Smiths Stadium on Sunday. Huddersfield manager Wagner was delighted by the goal but had a scuffle with Leeds boss Monk as he passed the Leeds dugout.
A rift then took place with players from both sides which resulted in bookings for Liam Birdcutt and Pontus Jansson for Leeds along with Elias Kachunga for Huddersfield.
Following the game, Wagner went on to apologize for his actions by saying, “It is all part of the emotion of the game but maybe this should happen with the players on the grass.
“For me, celebrating with my players is not disrespectful but perhaps it is in British football culture. This culture is different in Germany.
“This game is very emotional for me and my staff. I am sorry and I apologise for what happened afterwards.”
Leeds will definitely be disappointed with the result as it is a blow to their chances of being promoted to the English Premiership next season. With the win, Huddersfield now claim fourth place from Leeds and create a nine point lead over Derby County.
Huddersfield took the lead in the match through a goal from Izzy Brown before Chris Wood scored an equalizer for Leeds.
