Now Palace have an opportunity as Jon Moss awards the hosts a free-kick, 25 yards from goal. To sum up a miserable day, however, Puncheon smashes it straight into the wall.
86'
HUDDERSFIELD SUB
A debut to remember for Mounie comes to an end as he is replaced by Van La Parra.for the final few minutes.
85'
Five minutes until full-time and the Huddersfield fans are currently singing 'Premier League, you're having a laugh' to the remaining home supporters. Plenty of Palace fans have already left.
84'
Benteke forces another Palace corner. The Belgian striker rises highest from the subsequent set-piece, but he can't find the target with his header.
82'
OVER!
Quaner is back to fulfil his defensive duties and concedes a corner. Tomkins smashes over from the resulting set-piece though. More frustration for Palace.
79'
It was a classic counter-attack goal by Huddersfield. Quaner broke forward for the new boys, rolled a pass to Mounie who finished from 15 yards. Brilliant.
78'
GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-3 Huddersfield.
It's Mounie, again! The Beninese striker curls the ball beyond Hennessey and it's game over now. What an afternoon for the Terriers. Welcome to the Premier League!

OVER!
The corner falls kindly for Dann inside the Huddersfield penalty area, but the Palace defender blasts it well over the bar. Kind of sums up their day, doesn't it?
75'
The hugely impressive Jorgensen in the Huddersfield defence is in the right place to head over a dangerous Palace cross. Corner to follow...
73'
Mounie takes down the dangerous Loftus-Cheek, but Van Aanholt’s free-kick from 30 yards is poor.

HUDDERSFIELD SUB
Collin Quaner replaces Palmer for the remaining 20 minutes.
67'
Huddersfield have looked very comfortable in the last few minutes. Palace need an injection of inspiration from somewhere.
64'
Huddersfield win their ninth corner of the game. But Mooy, who has been excellent and laid on his side's two goals, crosses straight into the arms of Hennessey.
63'
In other news, Chelsea are currently losing 3-0... at home... to Burnley.
Shocking stuff.
62'
Palace's back-three is caught out yet again as Mounie is played through with only the goalkeeper to beat... but Fosu-Mensah races back and makes a vital sliding challenge.
