14 lovely images of Sheffield Wednesday’s lap of appreciation with their families at Hillsborough - gallery

Sheffield Wednesday’s players were all smiles as they did a lap of honour around Hillsborough after beating Derby County.

The Owls picked up a 1-0 victory on Sunday afternoon to confirm a record 96-point tally for the 2022/23 campaign, and while it wasn’t enough to secure automatic promotion the crowd was still in fine spirits at S6 as they celebrated what has still been an impressive campaign.

Michael Smith scored the only goal of the game as Derby were condemned to another season in League One, but for Wednesday the hard work begins next week as they turn their focus to Peterborough United and the play-offs.

This afternoon, though, they were able to enjoy themselves - with several players who have already been ruled out for the season such as Ben Heneghan and George Byers present to take it all in.
