[Eddie1363894574]

Huddersfield scored with virtually the last kick of the game to snatch a point and deny Henning Berg his first win in charge of Blackburn Rovers. The home side had taken the lead, but Rovers had fought back well and looked as if they were on course to a well-deserved three points until a sloppy piece of goalkeeping let the Terriers back in.

Huddersfield had taken the lead inside the first quarter of an hour when Rovers failed to clear a free-kick and Lee Novak scored from the resulting scramble. The goal came against the run of play and Rovers were deservedly level before the break when Rochina's brilliant pass put Rhodes in behind the Huddersfield defence and the striker made no mistake against his former club.

Rovers stepped it up a gear in the second half and produced some of their best play of the season, with Rochina playing particularly well. Ten minutes into the second half they were awarded a penalty when Olsson was tripped as he ran into the box and Danny Murphy made no mistake from the spot.

As the half drew on, both sides squandered chances, but it looked as though the three points were headed back with Rovers until Novak scored his second goal of the game deep into injury time. Robinson will feel as if he could have done more to prevent the goal and Rovers will feel that they didn't come away with the result that their performance deserved.

Rovers stay 6th in the table, ahead of Huddersfield on goal difference, but 5 points off automatic promotion and 6 points behind league leaders Crystal Palace.
