Key Events
- Sheffield Wednesday could move back into the top six with a win
- Four of Cheltenham’s five wins have come at home this season
Dunkley at the double!
Bannan’s free-kick is flicked on by Kamberi and takes a touch off Dunkley before finding the back of the net.
Absolute pandemonium in the away end.
Corner count
13 corners and counting for Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon, with one of them conveted to a goal.
Chance!
Dunkely, who has played well all afternoon, meets Patterson’s long throw at the near post and the ball bounces into the six-yard box but there’s no one there to turn it home. Any touch would have seen the Owls take the lead.
Excellent defending from Dunkley
Cheltenham break quickly and get a shot off in the box, which looks to be heading for the bottom corner before Dunkley throws himself in the way to prevent them from retaking the lead.
Chey gets the equaliser!
Delivery from Bannan to the back post and Dunkley uses his strength well to hold off his man and get on the end of it.
Chances at both end
Chey Dunkley times his run well to meet a corner at the back post. He’s quite far out but gets his head to the ball and it’s flicked over for another corner.
Nothing comes from that and Cheltenham break quickly and get a shot away, but BPF is out quick to close down the space and equal to the effort.
Hopefully this second half is kicking into life.
