The Australian, who this summer turned a loan from Manchester City into a permanent signing that could rise to £10million, smashed in a 50th-minute winner following a one-two with Elias Kachunga as the Terriers defeated one of the sides they came up with last term.

It meant David Wagner’s men followed up last weekend’s 3-0 victory at Crystal Palace with another three points to become just the third newly-promoted side to win their first two games in the Premier League era, emulating Bolton in 2001 and Hull last season.

Mooy. The Aussie was a class above in the Championship and he delivered the one moment of quality with a tremendous second-half finish.

STAT OF THE MATCH

David Wagner’s side made it two wins from two at the start of the new Premier League campaign, emulating the feats of Bolton in 2001 and Hull last year. The former, who also won their third game, survived but the Tigers went down.
