PREM: Wolves 0-2 Huddersfield

Aaron Mooy scored twice

Aaron Mooy scored twice as Huddersfield Town surged off the bottom of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

Aggressive without the ball and dangerous with it, Huddersfield looked far from a relegation-threatened side and they moved up six places to 14th thanks to two crisp finishes (6, 74) from their Australia star.

After recent struggles on the road, this was Huddersfield's first away win of the campaign and just the third in their last 23 away days.

It was just the second time in 23 games that David Wagner's men had scored twice in a single game and they could have had more against an out-of-sorts Wolves, who are now five without a win.

Huddersfield have a special affinity with Molineux, having won on five of their last six visits and they settled into their stride against the lacklustre hosts.

Erik Durm accelerated past Matt Doherty too easily on six minutes and his cross was caressed into the corner of the net by Mooy for his first goal in 29 Premier League games.

Huddersfield's midfield domination and energy should have yielded further rewards but Steve Mounie and Terence Kongolo both fluffed very promising headed chances.

Adama Traore was called from the bench by Nuno Espirito Santo at the break and he injected spark and excitement into what had been a lifeless Wolves performance. His chipped cross on 57 minutes was headed towards goal by Raul Jimenez but somehow Philip Billing hooked the ball off the line.

It was the first of a couple more openings for Jimenez, but the Wolves striker seemed to lack confidence with his final finish as Huddersfield hung in there.

Just as Wagner's men were looking vulnerable, Mooy struck again to seal the points, taking aim with a 20-yard free-kick that skipped off the turf and flew into the net.

"Can we play you every week," the away fans sang. Wolves had no response.
