The New Zealand international put the home side ahead after six minutes on his debut for Leicester, having just completed a move from West Bromwich Albion.

Leicester remained in control of the game, before Wood added a second with a close-range header from a Matty James cross.

James Vaughan looked to get Huddersfield back into the game with a number of chances, but was unable to find the target.

A late header from Ritchie de Laet for the Foxes third rounded off a dominant opening 45 minutes for Leicester, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb in the second half.
