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

So close! Traore crosses to the far post and Jiménez's header looks like it's headed in. But Billing acrobatically clears off the line. It was a case of a couple of inches.

Billing, having rescued his side at the other end, nearly finds the net with a curling shot from just outside the box. Wolves are still allowing the visitors too much space.

Hogg is in the book for a cynical foul on the edge of the box. Neves' free kick is blocked by the wall.

This is better from the home side. They're putting Huddersfield under some pressure and attacking with some pace and purpose, which could not have been said of their first half display.

A huge chance for Jiménez. He's played clean through and kept onside by Kongolo, who had stayed down with an injury. But the Mexican forward wastes the opportunity with a failed attempt to pick out a teammate.

Jiménez links up nicely with Gibbs-White and then goes for goal from a tight angle. It's off target again, though and Huddersfield survive.

Lovely football from Huddersfield. Mooy and Pritchard play a one-two, Mounie flicks the ball back to Pritchard, and his shot is drilled low but too close to Patricio.

GOAL! Wolves 0-2 Huddersfield (Mooy)

74 minutes

Mooy does it again! He curls a free kick on the edge of the box around the wall and Patricio can't keep it out. Huddersfield have dealt with Wolves' attacks in the second half and now they have a deserved second goal. They're on the verge of a massive win.

Helder Costa is replaced by Diogo Jota as Wolves look to salvage something here.

Chance for Traore. He looks to have gone around Huddersfield keeper Lössl, but he's crowded out before he can shoot.
