Nahki Wells scored for the first time since October as Huddersfield clinched a first victory in six matches with a 2-1 victory over Bristol City.
The Bermudian striker, who has been linked with a January move away from the John Smith's Stadium, scored his fourth goal of the season to get town back to winning ways.

Wells stole the ball and rounded Fielding before stroking into an empty net to give Huddersfield a much-needed lift.
