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

Again, Huddersfield win the ball back in the middle. Mounie collects it and fires a shot from distance. It's dipping, but Patricio holds on.

Three minutes of added time will be played. Half time can't come soon enough for Wolves.

Huddersfield should be 2-0 up. A free header from a corner is blocked and Wolves frantically clear the ball.
Half time: Wolves survive until the break just a goal down, but they are fortunate. Huddersfield have been excellent, tactically superior and more purposeful. If they can win here, they'll climb from 20th to 14th.
This has been by far Huddersfield's most effective performance of the season in an attacking sense. They have maintained a compact shape off the ball and countered with pace and direction. Wagner will know, though, that chances need to be converted. His side could feasibly have been three or four goals to the good here. Instead, it is just 1-0, and Wolves remain in the game. They have scored 10 of their 12 Premier League goals in the second half, too.
Wolves make a double change: Traore and Gibbs-White replace Moutinho and Cavaleiro.

Not much has changed so far. Mounie, and those playing just off him, are still causing problems, and Wolves look bereft of ideas in the final third.

Traore gets the Wolves fans of their seats for perhaps the first time tonight. He bursts towards the edge of the box and goes to ground. The resulting free kick comes to nothing.
