And there’s a 10 in there!

Ultimately a brilliant response from Sheffield Wednesday after throwing away a two-goal lead. You can’t be too unhappy with five goals at home, including some strikes of real quality.

The run continues - that’s seven wins from eight and the Owls have matched their best run of form since the 2011/12 season.

Luongo is replaced by Brennan.

It’s Bannan again and it is BEAUTIFUL. Hutchinson finds him 20 or so yards out and he bends it into the top corner.

I thought Johnson’s goal was the best of the night, but that was better.

Lovely stuff from Johnson.

Dominic Iorfa is on

A first appearance since October for big Dom. He replaces Lewis Gibson.

Wow. A lovely one-two with Paterson results in him bending one towards the far post which flies just wide.

He could have had a hat-trick tonight. The man is on fire.

4-2 Marvellous Marvin

Best goal of the night. A half-volley from just outside the box which almost breaks the net after Burton fail to properly clear Bannan’s corner.

Good chance to make it 4-2

Luongo dances into the box and gets a shot off, which is deflected into the path of Berahino. He spins and hits it on the turn, but it’s over the bar.

A tricky chance but that could have wrapped things up.

Here’s Paterson’s goal
