Referee Lee Mason was the centre of attention as Huddersfield Town ended an eight-match losing streak to play out a goalless stalemate at Cardiff City.
Mason initially awarded the visitors a penalty-kick in the second-half, with Joe Bennett bringing down Florent Hadergjonaj. However, Mason spoke to his assistant and decided to overrule his own decision, much to the fume of the traveling Terriers.

Huddersfield probably edged the first-half, definitely with more chances with Joe Bennett forced to make a great block to deny Erik Durm.
Neil Etheridge also denied Huddersfield from taking the lead, when Steve Mounie volleyed it on target.
Huddersfield controlled the second-half, also, but could not find a way past Cardiff, with defender Sol Bamba putting in a defensive masterclass.
The centre of controversy came with just under quarter-of-an-hour to go, when Bennett was initially penalised for bringing down Hadergjonaj in the box.
But Mason spoke to his assistant Stuart Burt, and the penalty was no longer, with the decision being overturned.
Huddersfield almost stole it right at the death, when Etheridge did really well to keep out Laurent Depoitre's looping header from an Alex Pritchard delivery.
The points were shared at the Cardiff City Stadium, and it is the second time this season these sides have played out a goalless draw.
The Managers
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock: "We knew we'd be struggling a little bit today. We had one or two players who shouldn't have been playing today.
"Paterson and Camarasa weren't really fit but I wanted to play them. We haven't got another striker with the lads we've got out and we just have to get on with it.
"Yes, we didn't play as well as we have done, but it's another clean sheet. That's six we've had this season.
"I thought we had the opportunities, but we didn't get the rub of the green although, thankfully, the linesman was alert to overturn the penalty. We thought ours was certainly a penalty for a foul on (Junior) Hoilett."
Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner: "I think the footage speaks for itself. It was clear holding and 1,000 per cent a penalty from my point of view. The referee has seen it and the referee has given it. Then for whatever reason, the linesman had an opinion as well.
"He said to me the first one wasn't a penalty and the second one I haven't seen - I don't know exactly what he meant. We will obviously speak to him because it is a decision that is anything but understandable and it's cost us points today.
"To be totally honest, I don't know how many times this has now happened to us or against us. I don't know why. You will have to ask the men in black."
