Josh Bowler was their hero, scoring a superb solo effort to beat a Fulham side that started the day atop of the Championship table.
As for Huddersfield, they still remain ninth despite slumping to an unfortunate 2-1 defeat to Stoke City at the weekend.
Coming off the bench on Saturday was a certain Ollie Turton, who made a surprise move to West Yorkshire just four days after Blackpool’s play-off triumph at Wembley.
