Huddersfield boss Wagner thanks home support after victory over Fulham

Huddersfield boss David Wagner thanked the home support after victory over Fulham.

An own goal was enough for Huddersfield's first win of the season.

Wagner said: "I don't care who scored it or how we performed. People know we can perform better. The pressure was on for both teams but how we fought - we left everything on the grass.

"It was deserved. First half we were clear and second half we were able to keep them away from our goal.

"This is huge for us. We have the winning feeling back. For sure it is one of the most important wins we've had in the last three years. Everybody needed this belief back. It's massive for us.

"Nothing is more important than this winning feeling, happy faces in he dressing room and in the club and we are back in the race after 11 games.

"When you look at the fixtures in front of us they are teams in and around the area where they'll be open games. Today I think we were the team who really wanted this win.

"The fans are amazing since I arrived three years ago. We are still in the bottom three, we won our first game after six and a half months at home and they really celebrated and cheered the players. You have to pay them back by going over and giving them a wave."
