Aaron Mooy of Huddersfield Town celebrates scoring his sides first goal against Newcastle United at John Smith's Stadium.

Huddersfield Town is enjoying a dream start in its maiden Premier League sojourn after a 1-0 win over fellow promoted club Newcastle United at the John Smith’s stadium on Sunday.

Aaron Mooy, who helped Hudderfield gain promotion last season, scored the winner in the second half. Having received the ball on the left side, the Australian midfielder played a one-two with striker Elias Kachunga before curling the ball in to the top-right corner from the edge of the box.

The Terriers now sit level on points with table-toppers Manchester United after two games, with only a superior goal difference separating the two.
