What was the significance of Huddersfield's draw with Chelsea?
Confirmation, Spurs have won. They're in the Champions League next season. They'll be celebrating at Wembley. They have been celebrating here tonight. They'll be celebrating back in Huddersfield as well. Every yard they ran, every block and tackle they made, every drop of sweat was worth it for this single point, which has kept Huddersfield in the Premier League for next season. Extraordinary achievement. Depoitre and Loesel, two names you can add to Huddersfield folklore, and they're with Greg Whelan.
Jonas, Lauren, many congratulations. Jonas, the Premier League beckons again next season. Just how does that sound?
It sounds very good. The feeling is just overwhelming right now. This is what we fought for all season and the last two weeks just alone. It's been up and down a couple of times with our own results and other results.
How did the players describe their performance against Chelsea?
So to finish here like this against these teams, both City and Chelsea, it's unbelievable.
How tough was it both mentally and physically out there this evening?
Physically, I think you have to ask Lolo. But mentally, it was tough. It was really tough. Chelsea needed it. But we fought like we never did before. Good suggestion by Jonas Lauren.
I'll ask you the same question. Just how tough was it out there tonight?
It was very hard. We ran a lot. We did a great defensive job. All the team. A great team spirit.
What key moments defined Huddersfield's survival in the Premier League?
We got to that point that...
keep us in the Premier League. Your goal effectively secured survival. How special a moment is that in your career?
Yeah, it's crazy. If you can score the goal that keeps you in the Premier League, it's amazing. But the whole team did a great job today and we are very happy.
Towards the end there, Jonas, you made a superb save from someone I think you were quite pleased to make a save against. But have you made many more important than that in your time?
This was definitely my most important save in my career. No doubt about it. What do you remember of it? We're suddenly there. Just needing my fingers on. Honestly, I think this is due to the whole team, to the defensive work we did today. Again, today we kept Chelsea off. Not too many chances and that's a great, great effort. We stood together and then we have the tank up front who just runs everyone down.
Laurent, as a team, as players, did you have any doubts this season or the honesty that you would be able to stay up?
I think we were never in the relegation zone.
How did the team manage to stay mentally strong throughout the season?
So I think we had not so much pressure until the three last games because we know City, Chelsea and Arsenal had three tough games to finish the season. But like I said, we get the points when we need to get the points and we deserved this point, I think.
Jonas, what has been the key? It's been an excellent season for everyone concerned with Huddersfield Town. What's been the key to you being in this position now?
Team above the player, definitely. It's been up and down all season. We've had a good coach who's kept the line all the way through. He's kept his philosophy. He's kept a positive atmosphere in the locker room. And then for me, we had some great performances individually, but mostly as a team. And that's been every time we've gotten points, that's been because of the team.
Well, gentlemen, a great night tonight. Jonas, you're also the Premier League man of the match. Terrific save again. Laurent, if you did the honours for us, please.
Sorry?
Just pass the trophy to him. If you do the honours with the trophy. Yeah, you deserve it. Congratulations, guys. Well done. Thank you.
All too much to take in in the moment, I think. Jermaine Defoe is here with Chris Powell, the former Huddersfield town manager. He talked about the team, Jermaine. Was that what got Huddersfield over the line tonight? Of course, yeah.
I mean, he was quite humble about his save. It was an unbelievable save.
What role did teamwork play in Huddersfield's success?
When you watch it back, it was actually going the other way. I always say, in games like this, you need your big players to make key saves or a finish or whatever it is in crucial times of the game, and he did that. But it was a great team performance.
