EUROROO WRAP: Australian defender Dean Heffernan helped Huddersfield Town take a step toward promotion from England’s League One with a 2-0 win over Oldham Athletic.
The Melbourne Heart defender was in the thick of the action as the Terriers moved three points clear in sixth place.
His cross in the 37th minute was only half cleared, allowing Theo Robinson to make it 1-0.
With a quarter of an hour to play, Heffernan was brought down on the halfway line, paving the way for Athletic's Kieran Lee to receive his marching orders for a second bookable offence.
It makes it three wins from the last four games for Huddersfield.
