The Aussie scored the winning goal as Huddersfield continued their 100% record, with 35% of emotion-bearing posts about him registering happiness and 21% registering love for the playmaker. As the most expensive Australian player in history, Mooy was the name on the lips of fans from Huddersfield to Sydney after his exploits on Sunday afternoon.
