Sheffield Wednesday: Adam Reach doesn't fancy his chances of winning Goal of the Month after incredible strike against Leeds United '¦Â he says this one was better
Reach let fly with an incredible looping shot into the top corner, just before half time at Hillsborough, to put Wednesday in front.
The Owls were denied a win by Mateusz Klich's equaliser after the break but the terrific goal from Reach remained the highlight of an entertaining match.

John McGinn's terrific arrowed volley in Villa's 2-1 defeat to the Owls last week, also earned considerable plaudits and rightly so. And it is that which Reach believes will take the award.
"I don't think mine will get (goal of the month),' admitted Reach.
'The Villa goal by [John] McGinn was really special, especially the technique he used."

Hide AdReach went on to admit that as soon as the ball left his foot, he knew it was heading for a goal.
He added: 'The moment I hit it I thought 'that's in.' But when it hit the post that was when I took a second to look and thought 'where's that going to go' and then I was just picturing it coming across and hitting the other post but it went in.
"It took everyone a second to realise it had gone in and then the place erupted.Â
"It's why you play for moments like that. The atmosphere was brilliant when it went in.'
