Sure, Sheffield Wednesday should have created more and their teeth aren’t quite showing often enough, but against a Millwall side at their strongest on the road, it was encouraging to see the Owls have much of the better of the game.
Incredibly, they’re two unbeaten at Hillsborough for only the second time in 2020.

Had little to do as Millwall failed to create anything in the way of a big chance. Organised well again. Photo: Steve Ellis
2. Joost van Aken - 6
Millwall's best moments came as he slipped and headed back towards the danger zone on an afternoon he was otherwise tidy. Harshly carded in the second half. Photo: Steve Ellis
3. Dominic Iorfa - 7
A colossus at the heart of defence. Recovery ability key once again, particularly in the first half, and an aerial threat in the top box. Photo: Steve Ellis
4. Julian Borner - 7
Solid. Has had tough moments in this season and faces a fight to retain his place in the side when they return from the international break, but did himself no harm. Photo: Steve Ellis
