Aaron Mooy scored twice as Huddersfield climbed off the bottom of the Premier League table with a surprise 2-0 victory against Wolves.

The Australia international midfielder found the net in each half as the Terriers were deserved winners at Molineux, where the hosts looked off the pace on their return from the international break.

Mooy's double was the first time Huddersfield had scored twice in a game this season and their second win of the campaign lifted David Wagner's team up to 14th in the table. Wolves are now without a win in five Premier League matches, losing four. PA

Wolves 0-1 Huddersfield

14 minutes

Another dangerous Huddersfield counter. Pritchard finds space and runs at the Wolves backline. His shot is blocked and loops out for a corner, but there's an alarming amount of space on the break for the visitors.

Huddersfield's Tommy Smith slides in but gets nowhere near the ball. He's in the book and will have to be careful now.

Huddersfield look a well-organised and accomplished team so far, which might surprise some Wolves fans. David Wagner's side are executing their game plan immaculately, and playing with a lot of energy. How long they can keep it up for remains to be seen.

Wolves captain Coady makes a typically strong challenge on Hadergjonaj to thwart another dangerous counter. He's left feeling the effects of it, and there's a pause in play as he receives treatment.

Another pause in play as Boly receives treatment. This game isn't flowing and that will suit Huddersfield.

Huddersfield have hardly given Wolves a sniff in front of goal. There's little cohesion in the hosts' attacks, despite their domination of possession.

Bennett goes for goal from distance, but his shot is way over. Huddersfield will welcome more efforts like that.

Big chance for Mounie. He attacks a corner with purpose and wins a header. There's enough power, but it's straight at Rui Patrício.

This time Kongolo wins a header at the back post. Again, though, it's straight at the goalkeeper.

Moutinho is robbed of the ball in midfield by Mooy and Huddersfield look to spring another counter. They have done that well throughout, transitioning quickly from defence to attack. Wolves, meanwhile, have been poor and the fans are voicing their discontent.
