'Frustrated' 'Powerful' 'Struggled' - Sheffield Wednesday ratings as Owls beaten at Sunderland

It was a tough night for Sheffield Wednesday away at Sunderland.

A big crowd of over 44,000 people made their way to the Stadium of Light as the two sides went head to head in the first leg of their play-off semifinal, but it was a single goal from Ross Stewart that proved to be the difference.

Wednesday ended the game quite strongly, but were under the cosh for large parts of the tie and will be very frustrated with the way that they conceded – a goal that came as a direct result of one of their own mistakes.

It’s still all to play for a 1-0, and it won’t be a result that will dishearten too many Wednesdayites, but there will be frustrations there anyway.

Here’s how we rated the performances on the night in a difficult game for Darren Moore’s side. They’ll need to improve at home on Monday.
