“I don’t want to say…” – Here’s what Aitor Karanka said when asked about Sheffield Wednesday’s penalty against Birmingham City
and live on Freeview channel 276
It was Adam Clayton who brought down Callum Paterson before Barry Bannan fired home what proved to be the winner, with plenty of complaints from the hosts who felt hard done to by referee Peter Bankes.
And while the visitors were pleased to get the spot kick after feeling like they’d been denied one in the first half, Brum boss, Aitor Karanka, is more worried about the mistakes that led to defeat rather than the penalty decision.

Bannan, who spent many years at Aston Villa, will have no doubt enjoyed the goal against the Blues from a personal perspective – especially with it being the second time he’s scored past them this year.
The win took the Owls to -4 points as they continue to chip away at their 12-point deficit, and Garry Monk will have been delighted with the fact that they were able to withstand late pressure and get the job done.
