Despite scoring a brace in his side’s home win against Millwall last weekend, Nahki Wells was dropped for Huddersfield Town’s Sky Bet Championship game away at Wolverhampton Wanderers last night.

The surprise decision to name Wells — Town’s leading scorer this season — as a substitute did not seem to harm Chris Powell’s side’s attacking threat, with the visiting team defeating high-flying Wolves 3-1.

Town’s second successive win lifts them to eighteenth position in the Championship table, with 11 points from ten games.

First-half goals against the run of play from Harry Bunn and Sean Scannell gave Town a 2-0 lead at half-time before Conor Coady’s 30-yard stunner on 51 minutes made it 3-0.

Although Bakary Sako pulled one back on 71 minutes, Wolves suffered a first home league defeat since December. Wells, who did not come in last night’s game, has scored six goals in all competitions this season.
