Goals from Massimo Luongo, Lee Gregory, Jack Hunt and George Byers earned Wednesday the win – Hunt’s was his first Owls goal in 147 appearances.
Harlee Dean slotted into the back three and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing started up top, but how did they fare in the South Yorkshire sunshine?

2. Bailey Peacock-Farrell - 8
Was hard done-to with May's opener, with May's effort deflecting as the covering Storey attempted to block. Made a classy save in the second half to keep Wednesday ahead - big moments matter and that one was a monster. Photo: Steve Ellis
3. Jordan Storey - 6
Made one or two important recovery tackles and grew into it, along with the rest of the back three. Was unlucky to see the ball drop into the Wednesday net off his legs. Grew into it. Off for Iorfa with a few minutes to go. Photo: SWFC
4. Harlee Dean - 7
Did excellently to nod on Bannan's corner for Luongo's goal. His first start in 53 days and looked a little bit rusty in moments but grew into things. Came alive in the second half - was an entirely different player - the highlight was a classy last-ditch block to keep Owls ahead. Photo: SWFC
