Joe Mason scored the only goal of the game as Bolton Wanderers claimed a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town in their Championship match at the John Smith's Stadium this afternoon.

Danny Ward came close to finding the net for Huddersfield early on, but his powerful effort came crashing off the bar.

The visitors hit the woodwork with a chance of their own minutes later, as Lee Chung-Yong saw a shot hit the post after he had connected with Alan Hutton's cross.

Midway through the half Oscar Gobern saw a header cleared off the line by Jay Spearing, before Adam Hammill curled a shot just wide.

In the final minute of the first half Gobern met Hammill's corner, but he saw his header kept out by Adam Bogdan.

After the break Ward threatened when he was picked out by Tom Smith, but he could only put his header over the bar.

They came closer soon after when Nahki Wells slipped Ward through on goal, before the striker saw his effort saved by Bogdan.

With the game heading towards a draw, Mason volleyed Lee's corner past Alex Smithies to steal all three points for Bolton.
