Nottingham Forest 2-0 Huddersfield reports: Lewis Grabban scores twice as Forest go fourth while Terriers enter drop zone


Nottingham Forest moved into fourth place in the Sky Bet Championship with a 2-1 win over Huddersfield that left the Terriers in the relegation zone.

Lewis Grabban scored twice to help Sabri Lamouchi celebrate a year in charge of Nottingham Forest with a comfortable 3-1 win over sorry Huddersfield.

Grabban scored two minutes before half-time and again within a minute of the restart to put Forest in control as he took his tally for the season to 19 goals.

Ryan Yates' late finish put the seal on a win that lifted Lamouchi's side into fourth place in the Championship and gave the Frenchman further cause for celebration, just over a week after signing a new contract.

Danny Cowley's Huddersfield, on the other hand, find themselves in the relegation zone on goal difference after suffering a second defeat since the restart.

They finished the game with 10 men following Juninho Bacuna's 89th-minute red card, with Karlan Grant's 96th-minute penalty scant consolation.
