First half goals from Elias Kachunga and Nahki Wells gave David Wagner's side all three points against their local rivals at the John Smith's Stadium.
Elias Kachunga and Nahki Wells netted as Huddersfield Town returned to the top of the Championship – at least until Norwich City’s trip to Newcastle United tomorrow night.
But a fifth home win in five was harder work than it might have been, because Town, despite dominating possession, were never quite able to put this game to bed.
Top scorer Kachunga claimed his fourth of the campaign after just 90 seconds, and while Town old boy Danny Ward equalised after 34 minutes, Wells put Town back in front on 38.
Meanwhile Reggie Lambe and his Carlisle United teammates drew 2-2 with Doncaster.
Lambe played 67 minutes as his team came away with a point.
