Huddersfield came from behind to claim the spoils and push Wolves further into relegation trouble in the Championship yesterday.

History was not on the hosts’ side having lost their last five meetings with the Terriers and not tasted success in the fixture at Molineux since 1988, but recalled midfielder Stephen Ward handed them a dream start after just four minutes.

That was about as good as it got for Wanderers as Sean Scannell levelled midway through the first half.

The crunch clash was then decided in the space of seven second-half minutes as Roger Johnson spurned a great opening which proved costly as Town substitute Jermaine Beckford pounced to put Huddersfield 2-1 ahead before Beckford added a sublime lobbed second.

It was the first time Huddersfield had found the net three times since late September and it moves them two points clear of the drop zone.
