The Owls did more than enough to take the win and despite a couple of hairy moments late on, were fully deserving of the win, which takes them to within four points of parity at the bottom of the table.

9. Elias Kachunga - 6
A surprise inclusion, perhaps, Kachunga offered a hard-working and diligent display that was so important to the Owls' press. Offered little going forward aside from a few nice touches. A high six. Photo: Steve Ellis
10. Josh Windass - 7
Another very busy, bustling display. Belted the post with a stunning free kick and could've had Pedersen sent off with a clever run. Left nothing out there before he was replaced by Marriott later on. Photo: Steve Ellis
11. Callum Paterson - 7
An important target for the Owls, Paterson and Windass seemed to grow in understanding as the match went on. Earned the penalty and was generally useful before he was replaced in injury time. Photo: Steve Ellis
12. Jack Marriott - 6
On for Windass, 77. Had a good chance but was less involved than he may have been earlier as Wednesday attempted to defend their lead. Had a half decent chance and looked busy - he'll have better chances to show what he can do. Photo: Tony Marshall
