A late Terry Conroy penalty gave Stoke victory in the two clubs' fifth meeting of the season, dealing a blow to the home side's top-flight survival hopes.

Having claimed a 3-1 league win at the Victoria Ground earlier in the season, Stoke had beaten Huddersfield 1-0 in a second FA Cup fourth round replay at Old Trafford after 3-3 and 0-0 draws.

Huddersfield looked set to avenge their defeats in the fifth encounter until left back Geoff Hutt conceded a penalty by palming away a shot by midfielder John Mahoney.

Goalkeeper David Lawson got a hand to Conroy's penalty but the shot had too much power and the 80th-minute goal proved decisive.

Stoke finished the season in 13th place, with Huddersfield two places lower.

Striker Iwan Roberts scored twice as Huddersfield secured their first victory at Stoke in more than 40 years in front of 10,000-plus fans at the Victoria Ground.

Roberts charged on to a loose ball in the box to drive home the opener and then met midfielder Chris Marsden's free kick with a powerful header for the second goal.

Huddersfield had to endure nervy moments towards the end of the match after defender Peter Jackson was sent off for tugging at Wayne Biggins' shirt with the Stoke forward through on goal.
