Steve Mounie fired a first-half brace as Huddersfield Town bounced back to Premier League winning ways with victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the John Smith's Stadium.

Club record signing Mounie, back in the starting line-up after recently returning to full fitness, grabbed his first goal since the opening day of the season in the 12th minute of the encounter.

The Benin forward then headed his second just before half-time to help the Terriers halt a four-game losing run and condemn the Seagulls to five games without a league win.

Victory lifts David Wagner's side above Brighton in the table who now face Champions Chelsea on Tuesday evening in what is expected to be in another mouth-watering home clash.

Have a look below at the quick-fire highlights from the John Smith's Stadium.
