Highlights, complaints, protest and fallout: A Sheffield Wednesday recap after Leeds United defeat

Sheffield Wednesday were beaten 2-0 by Leeds United at Hillsborough on Friday night.

Goals from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto were the difference on the night as the former Premier League duo scored either side of the half time break, but Wednesday had good spells in the game and managed to create a couple of chances of their own despite the gap between the two sides. You can see the highlights in the video at the top of the page.

There were protests against owner, Dejphon Chansiri, once again before kick off as thousands of fans held up flyers created by The 1867 Group, with the yellow leaflets being broadcast around the world via the Sky Sports cameras prior to the game getting underway.
