A dangerous corner by the 26-year-old caused split second havoc in the box as it was flicked on at the near post before being bundled over the line by Joel Ward for an own goal on 23 minutes.
Three minutes later Town's Player of the Season last term helped Mounie to his first of two with a perfect cross to the striker who headed it home.
Mounie completed the rout on 78 minutes leading to raucous celebrations from the away support.
What a day for @htafcdotcom!
