Huddersfield Town boss Neil Warnock says Sunderland's Jack Clarke is one of the best players in the Championship - and praised his right-back for the way he handled him in last night's 1-1 draw on Wearside. The Black Cats and the Terriers shared the points, with Joe Gelhardt's first-half strike putting Sunderland ahead before it was cancelled out by Josh Koroma's deflected effort on the hour.
Clarke was a major threat for Sunderland down the left flank and Warnock is a big admirer of the winger, but he was pleased that his defender Matty Pearson had stood up to the test. "The full backs were fabulous," said former Middlesbrough boss Warnock.
"Matty Pearson had to do a job on when the best players in the league in Clarke - I love him, he's so positive in everything he does."
