On a night Aston Villa paid tribute to a former player who regularly brought the Holte End to its feet, there was late drama to leave those in the club’s famous old stand sunk in their seats.
Roberto Di Matteo’s side looked on course for an energising three points and their first back-to-back wins in 15 months but conceded an equaliser three minutes from time as Huddersfield continued their unbeaten start to the Championship campaign.
It was a freak goal scored by Michael Hefele, who refused to give up the chase on a long punt from the back.
