Finishing 2-2 in normal time, Hamza Choudhury’s stunner had us ahead early in the second half, cancelled out when Dan Vost converted a rebound from Dion Charles’ spot-kick, which was initially saved by Jakub Stolarczyk.

Substitute Harry Winks soon restored our advantage, but Cameron Ashia took the tie to a shootout in which the Terriers prevailed. It’s Preston North End up next in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday as the Foxes look to go two from two in league competition.

Academy graduates get the nod

Full City debuts for Will Alves and 16-year-old Monga were two of the headlines from the much-changed Leicester line-up in Martí Cifuentes' first away match as Foxes Manager. And the lively Monga was at the centre of the action, denied a penalty following a clash with Lyden Gooch early on.

The depth of talent within the Foxes' youth system was on full display in west Yorkshire, too. Academy graduates Jakub Stolarczyk, Ben Nelson, Luke Thomas, Kasey McAteer and Choudhury also started, the latter captaining the side, while debutant Louis Page emerged from the bench and impressed from half-time onwards.

A breakthrough at either end

It took nine second-half minutes to prise open the Huddersfield defence; captain on the night Choudhury conjuring up something special. One touch to bring the ball under control, another to rifle an effort into the far roof of the net. Cue chants of ‘he’s one of own’ from the away end, with 1,827 City fans in fine voice.

Huddersfield looked to respond and soon had a penalty. Choudhury slid in on Ruben Roosken to concede the spot-kick which Stolarczyk kept out superbly, though couldn’t prevent Vost from prodding home on the rebound.

An open encounter before spot-kicks

Winks didn’t take long to make his impact from the bench, cushioning a lovely finish into the bottom corner after fellow substitute Stephy Mavididi created the opening down the left.

Yet another turning point came with 76 minutes on the clock, however. Ashia provided another contender for goal of the game, wrapping his right foot around the ball and sending it out of Stolarczyk’s reach. All square again.

The game was there for the taking in injury-time and, even after Page saw his shot saved by Lee Nicholls, Jordan Ayew’s free-kick from range flashed just past the post, but it wasn’t to be and penalties loomed. Nicholls was to be the Huddersfield hero, saving from both Ayew and McAteer to send the Sky Bet League 1 side into round two.
