Bookmakers predict Championship relegation battle after Sheffield Wednesday twist and Coventry City, Preston & Luton Town defeats

Sheffield Wednesday claimed their second Championship win of the season against previously-unbeaten West Brom on Saturday

Sheffield Wednesday gave their Championship season a much-needed boost as they claimed a dramatic victory over West Brom at Hillsborough on Saturday. The Owls took the lead through Darnell Furlong’s own goal in the ninth minute before Josh Windass doubled the advantage midway through the half.

West Brom drew level with second-half goals from Josh Maja and Alex Mowatt but Anthony Musaba dramatically claimed all three points as he restored Wednesday’s lead on 86 minutes just two minutes after the Baggies had equalised.
