Head coach Carlos Carvalhal said: “We were a little lucky, just like Brentford were here last season when they won 2-1.

“I knew it would be a very difficult game as they are in a false position in the division. We are a team with a big heart and that’s why we won.”

Next up for the Owls is a trip to second-placed Cardiff City this Saturday.
