Nahki Wells scored a late winner as Huddersfield Town made it back-to-back Sky Bet Championship wins by defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers at the John Smith’s Stadium today.

Wells capitalised on hesitant defending to fire home from close range for his thirteenth goal in all competitions this season and third in four games.

The defeat left Wolves marooned in mid-table and without a win in six games since beating Fulham 3-2 at Molineux last month, a victory which at the time was Kenny Jackett’s side’s fourth-straight league win.

Huddersfield’s victory followed last weekend’s win at Nottingham Forest and lifted them to fifteenth in the table, 12 points clear of the relegation zone.

Wolves forward Joe Mason had one effort ruled out for offside and another deflected over after the break.

David Wagner, the Huddersfield head coach, said: “Everyone can be very proud of this performance.

“Wolves made it very difficult for us, it was very tight and there wasn’t much space but there was lots of hard work and we never gave up.

“It is easy to play football if you are creating chances and scoring goals but when it is really tight you have to concentrate.”

Meanwhile, Reggie Lambe came on in the 88th minute in Mansfield Town’s 3-2 win at home to Dagenham and Redbridge.
