Here our man Dom Howson gives his verdict on how each player performed.
1. Keiren Westwood 7
Did not have too much to do as the Owls dominated for long periods. Had little chance with either of Espanyol's goals. Photo: Steve Ellis
2. Moses Odubajo 7
Grew into the contest after a nervy start. Provided a superb cross for Rhodes' second half chance. It is early days but he looks a good addition. Photo: JPIMedia
3. Tom Lees 7
The skipper barely put a foot wrong. He was strong in the air and kept things nice and simple on the floor. Solid display. Photo: Steve Ellis
4. Julian Börner 8
Made an excellent interception to deny Wui Lei a sight at goal just before the half hour mark. Appears to have formed a good partnership with Lees. Photo: Steve Ellis
