Comments:

League position: 2nd This was Huddersfield Town's first-ever home game in the Premier League. It was their first at home in the top division since 22 April 1972 when Steve Daley scored the only goal of the game for Wolverhampton Wanderers in League Division One in front of a crowd of 11,677 at Leeds Road. This was the Terriers' first win at home in the top division since 27 November 1971 when Frank Worthington and Jimmy Lawson scored the goals in a 2-1 win against subsequent champions Derby County. Town became the third club to win both of their first two games in the Premier League after Coventry City and Norwich City in the first-ever season of the competition (1992-93). Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner said: "I am very happy and proud the players followed our idea to keep Newcastle as far away from our goal as possible. We gave no big chances away and our defence was very sharp. We had one magic moment from Mooy, enough to win the game. I am delighted with the performance and result. This is unbelievable. Everybody has invested so much and I am happy for them."

League position: 17th Newcastle United had now lost their opening two games of a Premier League season for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. The last time they failed to score in each of their opening two games in a Premier League season was in 2014-15. The Toon began the 2016-17 season with defeats in their opening two league games; the second loss was a 2-1 defeat by Huddersfield Town at St James' Park. They went on to become champions of the League Championship. Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez said: "You cannot make too many mistakes in the Premier League. We made one mistake, gave Mooy too much time on the ball and we conceded. You have to take your chances. We tried to create more chances after the Matt Ritchie effort. The reaction from the team was good to going behind."
