MOUNIE IN THE MOOD FOUR MORE

STEVE MOUNIE helped demolish Charlton – and then promised more of the same.

Mounie (above) scored Huddersfield’s second goal moments after coming on as the hosts completed back-to-back wins for the first time since November. Victory hoisted the Terriers five points above the relegation zone and £12million Benin striker Mounie says now the only way is up.

“I knew I was capable of scoring goals in this league,” he said. “I can play and score goals and everyone can see that. I will try and do that for the rest of the season. That is my job – scoring.

“I know I would have scored more than eight, but I didn’t really play until December.

“Everyone is now is focused in one direction and pushing each other. We are reaching a point where everyone knows each other better.”

Karlan Grant scored twice and Juninho Bacuna fired home a spectacular fourth in added time as the Terriers claimed their biggest win since Danny Cowley took charge last September.

Next up is a trip to Elland Road, home of high-flying local rivals Leeds United, as the Terriers look to put more distance between themselves and the drop zone.

Defeat stranded Charlton in 20th place, just two points above Middlesbrough in the third relegation spot.

Boss Lee Bowyer didn’t pull any punches after the club’s third defeat in four games. “It’s been a tough week but we have to learn from it,” he said. “There are no easy games so it’s the same for everybody. There’s no excuse.”
