Gillingham 2 Huddersfield Town 0

GILLINGHAM recorded a fourth successive victory for the first time in six years against Huddersfield at Priestfield on Saturday.

The home side and Gary Mulligan got off to a dream start when the on loan striker put them in front inside five minutes with his first goal for the club.

The hard-working forward made space for himself after colelcting Tommy Black's fine pass before squeezing the ball into the net from the narrowest of angles.

Gillingham had goalkeeper Jason Brown to thank for preserving their lead as he produced a smart save to deny Danny Schofield in the first half.

Both sides had decent penalty claims turned down by the referee before Andrew Crofts got the ball stuck under his feet when clean through on goal.

The Gills survived some late Huddersfield pressure, but Matt Jarvis made sure of the points late on when he doubled the lead.

Picking the ball up from Danny Jackman the winger cut inside the full-back before curling a sublime shot into the top corner.

Gillingham: Brown, Wallis, Sancho, Cox, Jackman, Black, Pouton, Crofts, Jarvis, Byfield, Mulligan.
Subs: Crichton, Johnson, Spiller, Flynn, Harris.
