Huddersfield Town will restart life under the management of Neil Warnock still deep in Championship relegation trouble after losing at Stoke.
Phil Jagielka's first-half header, a close-range finish from Jacob Brown and a Lewis Baker penalty for the Potters kept Huddersfield, who reappointed 74-year-old Warnock as boss on Monday, second from bottom and four points from safety.
Under interim head coach Narcis Pelach for the final time before Warnock officially takes control, Town fell behind when Jagielka's header from Will Smallbone's corner looped into the far corner - the 40-year-old defender's second goal of the season.
