Coventry City ended their five-game winless streak with a comfortable home win over struggling HuddersfieldThe home side had the better of the first half and Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer both forced decent saves from Huddersfield goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic.
Hamer gave the Sky Blues a deserved lead after the break when he cut in from the left, played a one-two with Gyokeres and then curled in from 18 yards.
Former Terriers loanee Kasey Palmer made the points safe when he headed home a Gyokeres cross.
The visitors came close to pulling one back shortly afterwards but Ben Wilson made a fine stop to deny Joe Hungbo.
Coventry, who were playing for the first time since Doug King became sole owner of the club on Friday, are now four points off sixth place, while Huddersfield remain three points adrift of safety.
Leading scorer Gyokeres was influential throughout but did not manage to add to his 13 goals so far this season on what could potentially have been his final appearance for the club.
Boss Mark Robins has insisted the Sweden international is not for sale but struggling Premier League side Everton have been linked with a move before the transfer widow closes on Tuesday.
Huddersfield are now without a win in three games and face out-of-sorts QPR next Saturday.
Coventry travel to West Midlands rivals West Brom on Friday and will hope they still have Gyokeres in their ranks.
Coventry boss Mark Robins:
"Kasey Palmer is now getting on the end of things and getting into the box in good areas, scored a header, he's never headed it in his life!
"I think it was a brilliant goal as well, great ball in, great position, great header and it kills the game off.
"Kasey's a really good player, there's things he does where he takes a touch he doesn't need to but he's outstanding, he creates loads of things and now he's adding goals, goal attempts and making keepers make saves."
