Lee Grant’s fine start to his managerial career continued as Huddersfield secured a hard-earned 2-0 victory at Reading in League One.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jack Whatmough put the visitors ahead in the 74th minute before substitute Cameron Ashia sealed three points in the third minute of stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Grant, who left his coaching role at Ipswich in May to take his first job in management, has seen his Huddersfield side win their first two games after an opening-day 3-0 success against Leyton Orient<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reading, playing a first home league game in front of new club owner Rob Couhig, went close when winger Daniel Kyerewaa turned neatly in the Town area and shot narrowly over.<\/p>\n

Royals home goalkeeper Joel Pereira then had to make a flying stop, tipping over Joe Taylor’s well-struck drive after smart work by Mickel Miller.<\/p>\n

Taylor was again denied by Pereira soon after the interval, before Town keeper Owen Goodman was forced to react quickly to turn away a deflected attempt from Ben Elliott.<\/p>\n

Huddersfield went ahead when Pereira failed to deal with a Miller corner and Whatmough pounced to jab home the loose ball.<\/p>\n

The home defence was again found wanting when Ashia volleyed in precisely to condemn the Royals to their second consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n
