Feb 21 (Reuters) - Huddersfield Town kept up the pressure on the top two teams in the Championship with a 1-0 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Reading thanks to a late goal by Philip Billing on Tuesday.
Billing struck from close range with eight minutes left to take
third-placed Huddersfield back within four points of Brighton & Hove
Albion, who trail leaders Newcastle United by a point.
Newcastle beat Aston Villa 2-0 on Monday to reach 69 points while Brighton won 2-0 at Barnsley on Saturday. Huddersfield's win gives them 64 points, ahead of fourth-placed Reading on 60.
Huddersfield lead the teams in the playoff places. Sheffield Wednesday, who occupy the final spot, lost 2-1 at home to Brentford and stay level on 58 points with Leeds United.
The top three all have a game in hand over their immediate
rivals in England's second-tier Championship. (Writing by Ken Ferris;
