Huddersfield Town's impact players and Wembley job ahead in five conclusions on road to Wembley

Huddersfield Town are heading to Wembley for a shot at returning to the Premier League after getting the better of Luton Town over two legs thanks to a late Jordan Rhodes goal at the John Smith's Stadium.

Nathan Jones' side were firmly on top throughout the first hour of the game but proved unable to put their chances away and were ultimately punished by a set piece delivery by substitute Sorba Thomas, with Rhodes stealing in at the back post to win the game for the Terriers.

That sets up a meeting with either Nottingham Forest or Sheffield United in the play-off final at Wembley on Sunday 29th May, with the opposition to be decided at the City Ground on Tuesday. Here are our five conclusions on a famous victory for Huddersfield Town.
