Jay Fulton's first goal of the season gave Swansea City the lead against the run of play

Huddersfield Town and Swansea City had to settle for a draw after a lively encounter at the John Smith's Stadium.

Swansea took the lead against the run of play through Jay Fulton, before Karlan Grant equalised just before half-time.

As both sides pressed for a late winner, the hosts were reduced to 10 men when Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for a headbutt.

But on this occasion the Swans could not find a stoppage time winner.

They move up a position to fifth in the Championship, while Huddersfield remain 19th.

The home side made an aggressive start, pressing Swansea high up the pitch and forcing errors.

They could have taken an early lead had Grant connected to Juninho Bacuna's inviting cross, but it was the visitors who drew first blood with their first sniff at goal.

Ben Wilmot's header deflected into the path of Fulton who fired into the roof of the net from the tightest of angles for his first goal of the season.

Things then got heated in the cold Yorkshire air, fuelled by Fraizer Campbell's late challenge on Mike van der Hoorn from which he never recovered. He was later replaced by Ben Cabango who made his Football League debut.

Huddersfield equalised in the aftermath of the incident, just a few minutes before the break.

A stroke of luck saw the ball deflected into the path of Grant who made no mistake at the second time of asking, firing past Freddie Woodman into the bottom corner for his 10th of the campaign.

Both sides pressed for a winner in the second half and Swansea's chances were boosted by the late dismissal of Chalobah who took exception to the challenge of George Byers, but they could not take advantage of the extra man in the dying minutes.

They make the long trip back to south Wales with a point and their unbeaten run away from home in the Championship extended to 10 games.

Trevoh Chalobah received a straight red card for raising his head towards George Byers

Huddersfield boss Danny Cowley told BBC Radio Leeds:

"Against a good Swansea team who like to build from the back and control possession, I thought we dominated them and played the majority of the game in their half.

"When you concede after 15 minutes having been the dominant team - in pretty much their first time in our box - it's obviously disappointing but I was pleased with the response as we showed real resilience.

"Our goal is a little bit fortuitous but when you spend enough time in the opposing team's territory, you expect the ball to break - and you're always pleased when the ball breaks in the box to Karlan because he's such a clean finisher.

"Even after going down to 10 men, I still thought we had good control in the game. To that point Trevoh was outstanding, probably his best performance in a Huddersfield shirt. He is a young player and he will learn from this experience."

Swansea manager Steve Cooper said: "I never want to say I'm happy with a draw because we come to win games home and away.

"It's a tough place to come. People don't mind me saying they lost their way a little bit and it's been turned around by the new management team. We've seen them play a lot lately and we knew this was going to be a tough game and it proved to be that.

"I don't want to criticise referees too much but I thought he was a bit disappointing for both teams and I thought he did affect what should have been a much better game than what it was.

"We've come here, we've really competed, we've tried to play when we can, we scored a decent goal and we take the point and move on."
