Socceroo Aaron Mooy netted his fourth goal of the season and helped keep alive Huddersfield's faint automatic promotion hopes overnight.
Town crushed Norwich City 3-0 with Mooy scoring the second goal in the win on 70 minutes.
The Australian's goal came after working a neat one-two with Nakhi Wells, before steadying and firing home a low near-post effort which caught out Norwich keeper Michael McGovern.

Mooy was also involved in the third goal three minutes later with his neat flick from a throw-in allowing Rajiv van La Parra to release Wells to score.
The result lifts Town into third spot, sitting nine points behind second-placed Brighton but with a game in hand. Huddersfield have seven games to play.
Newcastle leapt up into top spot, 10 points clear of Huddersfield, with a 1-0 win over Jackson Irvine's Burton Albion overnight.
Irvine put in a full shift in the narrow defeat which leaves them three points above the drop zone.
