Chris Powell's Huddersfield are four games unbeaten

Huddersfield winger Harry Bunn scored twice in five minutes to set up his side's victory over Blackpool.

Grant Holt put the Terriers ahead with a scruffy header before two quickfire strikes from Bunn gave the hosts a 3-0 lead inside 16 minutes.

Joe Lewis saved two goalbound headers from Holt before Tony McMahon's free-kick and a Donervon Daniels rifled shot reduced the arrears before half-time.

But Jacob Butterfield's 20-yard strike put the result beyond doubt.

The victory extends Huddersfield's unbeaten run to four games and moves them up to 17th in the Championship.

They could have been 6-0 ahead at half-time but for excellent saves from goalkeeper Lewis, who is on loan from Cardiff City.

Blackpool drop to the bottom of the table and have yet to win any of their seven away games in all competitions this season, losing five.

They can at least take solace from scoring twice, which takes their tally to eight league goals this season.

Huddersfield manager Chris Powell: "I thought the first 35 minutes were the best we have played all season. We were outstanding and it could have been four or five.

"Grant Holt [striker, on loan from Wigan] is enjoying his football and training well and he has certainly made an impact for the team, squad and supporters. I hope something could be organised and sorted out. He is a focal point for the team and long may it continue."

Blackpool boss Jose Riga: "I still trust my players. I will not speak about my players when they don't get a result. I don't want to be hard on them. I am very proud of what they have done already.

"I have three loan players and I hope for more. The squad has to be helped. When you look at the experience of the players you can see we need more. I hope we can do that."
