Huddersfield are up to third after coming from behind to beat bottom club Peterborough 3-2. Jimmy-Jay Morgan had given Posh the lead early in the second half, but the Terriers turned things around through Will Alves’ close-range effort on the hour and a deflected strike from Herbie Kane.

Joseph Taylor scored Huddersfield’s third in stoppage time, with Cian Hayes then pulling a goal back for Peterborough, who slumped to a sixth league defeat.

Charlie Wellens struck in stoppage time to give Leyton Orient a dramatic 3-2 win at Port Vale, who slipped to a fourth straight loss.
