Socceroo Aaron Mooy put in a Man of the Magch performance to help Huddersfield Town kick off their Championship campaign with a 2-1 win over Brentford.
Mooy’s passing was sublime in his competitive debut for The Terriers who took to the pitch at their new ground in front of a record opening day gate of nearly 18,500.
And the Aussie quickly won over the home crowd who took to Twitter to salute the midfield maestro.
so Aaron Mooy was MOTM on his debut for Huddersfield. lol Championship will be too easy for him.

Fellow Socceroo, Jason Davidson, was left out of the line-up for the home side, while fellow Aussie Callum Elder played a full match for Brentford. - .
Manager David Wagner was clearly happy with the Aussie’s performance, praising the Socceroo and several other players for their “good decisions” in keeping the ball and resisting the urge to go long as they closed out the match.
The much talked about outfit “looked very confident, looked very experienced,” Wagner said.
Great start to the season with a win atmosphere was class 👏🏻👏🏻
