“It felt amazing,” he said. “If I scored in the park, I would celebrate like a nutter because there is just no better feeling.

“Honestly, goal-scorers are so lucky as they do it on a weekly basis.

“If I get one or two a season, I’m buzzing with it so that’s why I did a stupid celebration.”

Tuesday’s victory was the Owls’ Wednesday’s third success in their last four outings.

Hutchinson said: “It was important that we won. We were disappointed after the Reading game that we didn’t get the three points but we are very happy.

“We put our chances away. To be honest, I don’t think we played as well as we have done all season but I think we were more clinical. I think that has been missing throughout our performances.

“We still missed a couple of chances but as a team we defended well.

“It is always different in derby games.

“We’re pleased with the win.
