Northwestern football won a game that was gritty, grind-y, old school, throwback, black & blue and any other euphemism you can think of to describe an ugly game.

Huddersfield Town A.F.C. came into their home fixture against Manchester United as 10/1 underdogs, but brimming with confidence anyway. Clearly, they were focused and believing in themselves and what they could achieve as the scored twice on United in the first 33 minutes.
