Burton Albion vs Sheffield Wednesday LIVE
Key Events
- Owls looking to make it three wins on the bounce for the first time since August
- Darren Moore returns to touchline after recovering from Covid-19
- FOUR changes for Wednesday
GOAL Bannan
Marvin Johnson picks out Bannan on the edge of the area. The shot is on and he doesn’t hesitate, firing low towards the bottom corner.
It takes a deflection on the way before rippling the back of the net.
Great save BPF
He’s had little to do all afternoon but comes to the fore when it matters to keep out Harry Chapman’s effort with his legs during a one-on-one.
Stoppage in play here as Storey receives treatment for a hand injury. Unclear what’s happened but blood is visible on his palm.
Double switch for the Owls
Byers and Mendez-Laing, who has been a thorn in Burton’s side all day, are replaced by Sylla Sow and Florian Kamberi.
Brilliant from Mendez-Laing
He chases what many others would consider a lost cause and beats two defenders and the goalkeeper to the ball, before being tripped by Garratt 30 yards from goal.
A booking for the keeper as a result.
Burton turning it up a gear
The home side are committing more men further forward in search of an equaliser and force a free-kick 20 yards or so from goal.
BPF does well to claim a delivery into the six-yard area.
Sheffield Wednesday fans warned
A tannoy announcement has just been warned a section of Sheffield Wednesday fans against throwing any further objects onto the pitch and from using any offensive language towards the female assistant referee running the line this afternoon.
Burton roll the dice
A double switch sees Gassan Ahadme and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson replace Louis Moult and Deji Oshilaja.
Luongo!
He dances away from several challenges inside the area, twists and fires a shot towards goal, which is not too far over the bar.
Would have capped off a great afternoon for the midfielder, who looks like he’s enjoying himself getting stuck in.
