Huddersfield Town were held to a 1-1 draw away to MK Dons in a League One match on Tuesday. Joe Taylor gave the visitors an early lead, but Aaron Collins equalised after the break to ensure the points were shared.
The report of the match was supplied by PA Media. The result means Huddersfield Town remain second in the League One table, having taken four points from their opening two games with a win and a draw. They are just two points behind leaders Bradford City and have scored four goals while conceding only one so far this season.
Huddersfield Town began brightly and took the lead in the ninth minute. Ryan Ledson provided the assist for Joe Taylor, who found the net despite MK Dons goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray getting a touch on the shot. The Terriers created several more opportunities in the first half. MacGillivray was forced into saves from both Taylor and Jay Sway, while a long-range effort from Taylor struck the crossbar. A subsequent review determined the ball had not crossed the line. Ashley Fletcher also came close, seeing his strike hit the post.
The home side improved after the interval and drew level in the 54th minute. Ben Wiles set up Aaron Collins, who scored his second goal in as many games. Both teams had strong appeals for a penalty turned down by the officials during the contest. MK Dons pushed for a winner late on, with Ryan Wintle seeing an effort blocked on the line and Ben Wiles firing a shot just wide of the target.
The single point keeps Huddersfield Town in a strong early position. Their record of one win and one draw gives them a solid foundation.
