Clark buoyed by Terriers display

Lee Clark revealed his pride at Huddersfield's display in their 2-1 FA Cup fourth round defeat at Arsenal and challenged his players to go on and secure promotion to the Championship. The Gunners took the lead when Nicklas Bendtner's angled shot deflected in off Terriers skipper Peter Clarke after 22 minutes. But the game changed when Sebastien Squillaci was shown a red card by referee Mark Clattenburg for blocking Jack Hunt's surging run just before half-time. Alan Lee headed a deserved equaliser for the Terriers, but captain Cesc Fabregas came off the bench and won it from the spot after Jamie McCombe was adjudged to have pushed Bendtner over. Clark said: "It was an excellent performance - we passed the ball well and created chances. We limited Arsenal, which is not easy coming here, and the lads have worked extremely well so that in context we are disappointed we did not get anything more from the game. "But we have now go to look at our league programme, which is all-important for us. Our goal will now be to go and get promoted and take this performance into the league."
