David Wagner has admitted that Huddersfield's poor first-half performance against Southampton on Saturday proved to be the Terriers' undoing.
First half goals from Nathan Redmond and Danny Ings put Huddersfield on the back foot and, after Philip Billing installed some hope by pulling a goal back, the defeat was confirmed when Michael Obafemi struck home a third goal for the Saints.
Whilst Wagner was appreciative of Huddersfield's improved performance in the second-half, he was fully aware that the opening 45 minutes were sub-par.
"First half was not good," Wagner told Sky Sports.
