Steve Cooper's classy gesture to Duane Holmes among Huddersfield Town moments missed

Huddersfield Town's players failed to emulate the heroes of 2017 by reaching the promised land of the Premier League. The Terriers, among the favourites to drop into League One at the start of this season, were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Sunday.

Defeat leaves Town staring at a fourth successive year in the second tier. Here are some of the moments you might have missed from the final fixture of the 2021/22 EFL season.
