Sheffield Wednesday vs Burton Albion: 'A cheat code', 'Marvellous' - Player ratings in 5-2 win

A Barry Bannan masterclass helped Sheffield Wednesday to a 5-2 win over Burton Albion at Hillsborough.

The midfield magician was on another level altogether as he scored two goals and provided another in a seven-goal thriller, which saw the Owls pegged back after taking a two-goal lead before scoring three times in the second half to earn a seventh win in eight games.

Liam Palmer opened the scoring before Bannan converted the first of two wonder strikes.

Goals from Adlène Guedioura and Oumar Niasse got Burton on level terms before efforts from Callum Paterson, Marvin Johnson and Bannan once again helped Wednesday match their best run of form since the promotion-winning 2011/12 campaign.
