Huddersfield Town got their promotion ambitions back on track with a resounding victory over Norwich City tonight.
The Terriers outclassed their opponents in every area of the pitch and got their rewards in a scintillating seven-minute spell after the interval.
The outstanding Elias Kachunga started off the frenzy with a cool finish from a tight angle, before Aaron Mooy and Nahki Wells scored the goals which Town's dominance deserved.
