Huddersfield Town fans have singled out their Ghanaian midfielder Collin Quaner for praise following their 3-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace in the opening match of the Premier League over the weekend.

The substitute set up the last goal for Huddersfield as they coasted to the emphatic 3-0 win to shock their experienced opponents.

Huddersfield made a dream start to their debut season in the Premier League as new Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer endured a miserable first game.

The Terriers, playing in the English top flight for the first time since 1972, led when Mathias Jorgensen's header flew in off Palace's Joel Ward.

Backed by almost 3,000 away fans, the Yorkshire side doubled their advantage when Steve Mounie powerfully nodded in.

Palace's Scott Dann blazed over, just before Mounie cracked in the third.

And the impressive victory against a poor Palace side puts the Terriers on top of the fledgling table after their opening game.
