Keshi Anderson goes viral after scoring an absolute screamer for Birmingham in the League One fixture at Huddersfield.
Soon after, the first change for the Blues saw Scott Wright replace Keshi Anderson, the goal scorer walked off behind the goal to take the acclaim from Birmingham fans.
Despite Huddersfield throwing bodies forward trying to get a late equaliser, a disjointed effort in doing that, a brilliant Birmingham defence held firm to hold on to the win.
The result means that Birminham stay two points clear with their 1-0 win at Huddersfield, and Wycombe managed to win 2-1 against Barnsley late on, so they’re now six points ahead of third-placed Wrexham whose unbeaten home record was ended by Stevenage.
Put this on REPEAT! 🔁

BBC sport said in their live blog: “What a hit. You’re going to see this time and again.
“Taylor Gardner-Hickman heads a bouncing ball across the D on the edge of the Terriers box.
“Keshi Anderson shapes to hit it first time, but it doesn’t quite drop, so he has to take the ball on his chest and then thrash a dipping volley from beyond 20 yards which flies to Jacob Chapman’s right and under his crossbar.
“A strike worthy of winning any game. Has it done so with this one?”
Matt Glennon (Former Huddersfield keeper on BBC Radio Leeds): “A thing of brilliance, a wonderful strike from Keshi Anderson who’s having a great game, but Town could have stopped that so many times, it’s just so sloppy at the back.”
Jamie Mackie told soccer Special: “It was worth the wait. It was poor quality in the first half but Anderson is such a bright spark. Chest, volley… what a strike. Look at that for technique.
“The night before a game, you dream of those. That was worth the bore-fest in the first half.”
BBC sport writers said: “Birmingham have seen this one out like, dare I say it, Champions.
“Keshi Anderson’s superb strike, taking the ball on his chest and unleashing a vicious dipping volley under the crossbar from well outside the area, was worthy of winning any game.
“For Huddersfield, it’s a blow in their push for automatic promotion, and back-to-back home defeats, without scoring, in the space of four days.
“Blues have a nice cushion, and games in hand in the race for a top-two finish.”
Matt Glennon (Former Huddersfield keeper on BBC Radio Leeds): “League leaders Birmingham City consign the Terriers to a second consecutive league defeat at home.
“In a game of little quality a moment of magic separated the two sides.”
Jamie Mackie told soccer Special: “Huddersfield haven’t looked likely of scoring all evening but there’s 10 minutes of added time because of an elbow to the face of Tom Lees. You never know…”

@Buntingfootball: That goal from Keshi Anderson is just stunning, brilliant technique to find the back of the Huddersfield net. Takes it on the chest and then sends it in on the volley. Birmingham ahead in a huge clash away at Huddersfield, so good at seeing games out as well. Feels a huge moment.
