Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: 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.

Chapter 4: 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.

Chapter 5: 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. Everyone worked hard. It was a tough game. Didn't see much of the ball.
defended, you know, in a low block, really low, and it was just a great performance.
Well, this is the moment you're talking about, Jermaine. From where we were as well, Chris, it looked in, didn't it?
Oh, for certain we thought it was in, but he was going one way as well, and then he just, he doesn't dive, but what he does do is react to the header and touches it onto the post, and it's just a monumental save. It is the moment of the season for Huddersfield Town.
Brilliant. Wow. Brilliant. And you can imagine, I guess, when he does this, the lift it gives everybody else. I think it was about 10 minutes to go at this point.
Of course. And obviously you need a little caution in situations like this. You need a little bit of luck and he actually hits the inside of the post. And sometimes they drop down and, you know, you see Morata there.

Chapter 6: What were the critical decisions made by Chelsea's management?
He's actually hit Morata.
And looking good as well, making the block.
Yeah, exactly. But like a key moment in the game. What a save. Amazing save. And he's a real bull of a centre forward tonight, wasn't he? He chased everything down. Yeah, chase lost causes, and you need that from a centre-forward. Again, you know, you come into games like this, again, as a centre-forward, you get frustrated because you know you're not going to see much of the ball.
And at times, when they regained the ball, they just sort of, like, just booted it upfield, and, you know, he was just chasing lost causes. Foul there or not? I don't think so, to be honest, but I think the weight of that pass was the key for me to go and... You know, we just bullied the goalkeeper and a nice little finish. Well, they might have claimed that was a foul as well, Chris.
What do you think?
Well, I actually thought it was a foul initially on William, but the pass, as Jermaine says, from Aaron Boy is fantastic. It makes Caballero... He has to... decide whether to come or not.
He decides to come, he gets pushed out of the way politely and then Rudiger slips over and that's key to it as well and then all he's got to do is concentrate, he doesn't pull out and then Rudiger slips and he just concentrates on making sure that ball gets in the net.

Chapter 7: How did Chelsea's performance impact their Champions League ambitions?
Everything's going in the net. he made 66 sprints tonight more than anyone else on the pitch does that sound a lot to you?
that's a lot of sprints that's a lot of sprints I'm not getting a ball but I mean credit to him to be honest you have to be in games like that you have to be professional and do it for the team obviously I mentioned about when we had a similar situation when we went to Arsenal needed a point and literally everyone was paying that position just have to do it for the team as soon as that final whistle goes we saw the celebrations it was brilliant
It was manic at times for Huddersfield defending, wasn't it? Case in point being the equaliser.
Well, I mean, it was really tough on Huddersfield because you just couldn't see a way through for Chelsea. And they probed and Fabregas was getting it wide and then that ball just came in and it was a clearance, I think, from Zanka, from Jorgensen, which hits Alonso in the face. I mean, it was Gianni Way, a bit of luck for Chelsea to break him down.
Great striker's goal, Jermaine. I would take that. I would take that for sure. He's hated the season, absolutely would. But even with 62 minutes, they could not find a way through to find that winning goal. Chelsea, they said he couldn't get them into the Premier League. He did that. They said he couldn't keep them there. And now he's done that as well. He's with Greg Whelan.
David, many congratulations, an excellent achievement by everyone concerned at Huddersfield Town. What tribute, though, do you give to the players tonight?

Chapter 8: What are the future plans for Huddersfield after securing Premier League survival?
To be totally honest, I think my English is not good enough to find the right words to describe what the players have done over the whole season and then for sure as well. Tonight, I think we have seen today everything what counts for us and this is desire, passion.
effort, attitude and togetherness and I'm a strong believer if you have the passion and the desire and the spirit you can compete sometimes with top, top quality and we've seen today that we at least tried it, we were lucky we had this lady luck today, there is no doubt about it but if a group of players deserved it then this group of players, this is an unbelievable achievement for this football club.
Have we also seen a mental toughness from your team, particularly over these last few weeks?
No, when I had never a doubt about, then it was about their mental strength. We had so many experiences now in the last two and a half years, started with the play-off semi-final, final. We had some very big dips in the season which we expected with five defeats in a row and we were always able to come back after the situations in very
very big moments we were usually there and that now in this very exciting week where this is proper paramedic fixtures with City away Chelsea away and now Arsenal that we confirmed everything and we've done it ourselves this is so important for me that we will not rely on anybody we've done it with our own power and this makes me so unbelievably proud that I have not enough English vocabulary to describe how I feel
When Laurent Deportes scored that what turned out to be all-important goal tonight, there was a delay in your reaction, in your celebration. Were you worried that it might not be given?
No, I was shocked that we got the lead against Chelsea away after, I don't know, 50 or 60 minutes. No, I was sure this was a correct goal. It was maybe a foul and then maybe a red card in the situation. But the referee gave the advantage and Lolo took this chance. And he deserved it because he worked so hard today as a whole team. And I'm very happy and very pleased for him as well.
A lot of people at the start of this season, before a ball was kicked, thought that Huddersfield were likely to go straight back down. Have you enjoyed, as a group, perhaps proving a point to a lot of people this season?
No, I will not criticise one of them because they were right. Under the circumstances we started this season, this Premier League season for a football club of us, we are anything but a Premier League club. But...
