Aaron Mooy plays hand in winner
Socceroos star Aaron Mooy has helped set up Huddersfield's match-winning goal against Leeds United amidst ugly scenes in their EFL Championship clash at John Smith's Stadium.
Michael Hefele's dramatic 90th-minute winner sparked furious scenes on the touchline. Mooy's shot deflected off Leeds defender Pontus Jansson and fell perfectly for Hefele to give his side all three points.
Huddersfield coach Wagner raced down the touchline in celebration but clashed with opposite number Monk as he came back past the Leeds bench.
Players from both sides then got involved in the melee as referee Simon Hooper booked Leeds captain Liam Bridcutt and Jansson along with Elias Kachunga for Huddersfield.
"It is all part of the emotion of the game but maybe this should happen with the players on the grass," said Wagner.
"For me, celebrating with my players is not disrespectful but perhaps it is in British football culture. This culture is different in Germany.
"This game is very emotional for me and my staff. I am sorry and I apologise for what happened afterwards.

"I celebrated with my players and jogged back to my technical area and Garry tried to nudge me.
"Then I went to speak to him. But this was not possible at this time. I had to go to the stands."

Huddersfield had gone ahead through sub Izzy Brown with his first touch after coming on before Chris Wood equalised with his 21st of the season.
A Pablo Hernandez free-kick on the right was cleared but the ball came back to Hernandez who whipped the cross back into the box.
Kyle Bartley headed goalwards and Wood reacted first taking the ball round the keeper and slotting home.
Huddersfield took control after the break, putting Leeds under pressure. Bartley showed nerves when he sliced a clearance over his own bar.
Mooy tried to break the deadlock with a variation on a corner, pulling the ball back for Chris Lowe to drill wide.
Mooy played a one-two with Smith but fired past the post from 25 yards.
In the 62nd minute Rajiv van La Parra was inches away from turning home Kachunga's cross and two minutes later Town had another great chance.
Brown battled to win the ball on the right and crossed for the unmarked Quaner who took the ball on his chest but missed his volley.
Mooy forced Green into a save but Leeds almost scored on the break from sub Alfonso Pedraza, making his debut on loan from Villareal.
Pedraza produced a powerful shot which was well saved by Ward.
