Nouha Dicko took his tally of goals for the season to nine

Striker Nouha Dicko scored twice to give Wolves' promotion push a timely fillip with victory at Huddersfield.

Dicko fired under Alex Smithies after a through ball from Rajiv van La Parra and it was 2-0 when Conor Coady headed Bakary Sako's corner into his own net after the break.

Benik Afobe's strike made it 3-0 before James Vaughan got a goal back for the hosts from Sean Scannell's cross.

Dicko made it 4-1 when he rounded Smithies to slot home in injury time.

It was a frustrating night for Chris Powell's Huddersfield side after they created the better chances, with Coady's own goal early in the second half proving a pivotal moment in the match.

The victory ended a run of three matches without a win for Kenny Jackett's Wolves team and moved them to within four points of sixth-placed Brentford.

Huddersfield, 15th in the table, have won four and lost four of their last eight matches.

Huddersfield manager Chris Powell:

"It's a hard one to swallow. I'm led to believe we created over 30 chances but we gifted two of the goals - the first one is a mistake and he finished it in a flash, and the second one an own-goal, which took the wind out of our sails.

"They're a good side - they have some good players who have played at a higher level - but we more than matched them.

"It's a funny one. They could have actually scored one or two more on the counter-attack."

Wolves manager Kenny Jackett:

"I thought the difference tonight was our finishing, which was excellent. There was some real clinical finishing and it's such an important thing at any level of football.

"Getting the first goal was a big thing. It was a real quality goal - the ball and the finish from Dicko, who came out of nowhere and did well to tuck it in.

"As the away side we were under a lot of pressure but we could still maintain a threat on the break, and with the right combination of passes into the right spaces we could have got more (goals)."
