Huddersfield Town boss Chris Powell has hailed the commitment of his players following their emphatic win over Nottingham Forest in the Championship.

The Terriers continued their climb up the table on Saturday thanks to a 3-0 triumph at the John Smith's Stadium.

Joel Lynch opened the scoring inside the first minute against his former club, before goals from Nakhi Wells and Grant Holt sealed the points.

"I was really proud of all the players because, even in the 93rd and 94th minute, we were putting our bodies on the line to try to keep a clean sheet and that's the attitude that will take us forward," Powell told BBC Sport.

"The chairman wants us to overachieve as a team, but we're realistic with where we are and what we are financially. I'm going to push the players to be the best they can because you just never know where that will take you."

Huddersfield return to Championship action in midweek when they make the trip to Derby County.
