Wagner enthuses over ‘brave’ Huddersfield performance

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner was full of praise for Aaron Mooy after the Australian scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Wolves.

The Terriers climbed out of the relegation zone with the win, their first on their travels this season.

Wagner was delighted with the way they implemented his tactical approach, singling out Mooy for his hard-working performance.

He told Match of the Day: “The players have shown better performances – or at least comparable performances – this season but they have not got the rewards.

“Today they got two goals, a clean sheet and [have] done fantastically well. I’m so happy for them.

“They’ve shown a lot of bravery to press an opponent such as Wolves so high up the pitch. We were able to minimise their opportunities.

“Aaron Mooy is a top class player, he has this calmness on the ball. His decision making was great. You will rarely find a player with such good technique and vision who is prepared to work so hard for the team.

“It lifts the confidence and their mood. Away wins are always very important in the Premier League and now we have the first one we have to try and surf on this wave we have created.”
