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

It should be 3-0. Mooy's shot on the edge of the box is blocked but it falls to Mounie. He can only blaze his effort over.

Wolves look deflated now. This has been a spiriting Huddersfield performance, one that will propel them up the table. They've executed Wagner's game plan to perfection.

Jota works some space and fires a low shot at goal. Lössl, slightly fortuitously, manages to keep it out.

Neves, who has been poor by his usual standards today, is in the book for a late challenge on Pritchard.

Traore lofts a dangerous ball into the box but Lössl gets enough of a touch to take it away from any onrushing Wolves players. Huddersfield are close now.

A triple change in injury time for Huddersfield to run the clock down: Pritchard, Billing and Hogg make way. Mbenza, Williams and Stankovic come on.

Full time: A huge win for Huddersfield. They were bottom before kick off; now they're 14th. And it's fully deserved. They were superb in all areas, far superior to a Wolves team who were disappointingly lacklustre. 

Mooy, who scored twice, will take the plaudits. But this was a near perfect team performance from the Terriers. 

Callum Rice-Coates25 November 2018 17:54

For Wolves, it's a fifth game without victory. After a strong start, they have been brought firmly back down to earth. There's no need to panic, but they'll be aware of the need to improve after their worst performance of the season.
