'We're only 95 metres into the 100 metre sprint'

In becoming the first side to prevent City from scoring on home turf in the league this season, David Wanger's men moved three points clear of the relegation zone with two games to go, but with those games being against Chelsea and Arsenal, Lossl is keen for his side not to get carried away.

"It was a really fantastic — what a clean sheet to get. It was a massive team effort and I am really proud. We can use this point. One point more and I think we are safe," he said after the game.

"It has been a very good season so far but we are not there yet. We haven't reached our target yet. The target is to stay in the Premier League and has been all the way through.

"It's like a 100-metre sprint... we don't stop after 95 metres. We need to run it all the way through."

City dominated the ball against Huddersfield, but the 'Terriers' showed their fighting spirit to claim an unlikely point as they turned in a dogged defensively play, characterised byy several players needing treatment for cramp late on.

"It's one minute at a time in a game like that but in the first half we had some good chances, so when we came in at half-time we were very optimistic about the second half," Lossl continued.

"We knew they were going to come strong again from the beginning but as the half went on I think we deserved our point. We had a perfect plan and we followed it. We believed in it.

"We're very happy and have congratulated everybody in the club. It can prove to be a massive point."
