LONDON — What seems like an inglorious departure from the English Premier League is far from it for Huddersfield. Its fate sealed with six games remaining after losing at Crystal Palace 2-0 on Saturday, Huddersfield has matched the record for the earliest relegation. But it was a miracle the northern English team secured a second season in the Premier League, having resisted splurging its newfound wealth to chase survival. LEARNING FROM FAILUREJourney’s end for Huddersfield came at the scene of its first Premier League game — a 3-0 victory over Palace in August 2017. Luka Milivojevic’s 76th-minute penalty and Patrick van Aanholt’s goal secured Palace’s 2-0 victory on this visit to Selhurst Park.
