Huddersfield Town eased to victory away at Hartlepool to stretch their unbeaten league run to nine matches.
Pools started brightly with Denis Behan testing away keeper Alex Smithies.
But the Terriers went ahead from the penalty spot when Gary Roberts slotted home after a defensive mix-up saw keeper Scott Flinders foul Lee Novak.
Adam Boyd's volley almost made it 1-1 but the visitors sealed the win when Neal Trotman scored from close range after the ball came back off the bar.
