Daniel Farke’s men hit back twice through Josh Murphy and Nelson Oliveira in a bizarre second half, but Conor Hourihane’s brace after the interval secured the points after the ex-Barnsley midfielder and Andre Green had put the hosts in command during the first half.
Farke made four changes to the starting line up that beat QPR 2-0 on Wednesday. Cameron Jerome replaced Oliveira - who was only passed fit after physio on a groin problem on the morning of the game - with Russell Martin, Steven Naismith back in the line up. Marco Stiepermann was handed a full debut.
