Sunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday: 'Not sure he was actually playing ' ... 'Given the runaround' - Player ratings as Owls are battered

The Owls were abysmal and torn apart by a Sunderland side at the Stadium of Light who barely broke sweat in winning 5-0.

Ross Stewart scored a hat-trick and probably should have had five or six himself on a night when the Owls were completely outclassed.

Here's how we rated the Wednesday players...

Beaten five times and yet was probably Wednesday's man of the match. Made a few good saves to keep the score down and save even further embarrassment

1. Bailey Peacock-Farrell - 6

Had a decent shot on goal with the score at 1-0 but gave away the ball for Sunderland's second and from then on looked unusually uncomfortable. A poor display by his standards

2. Jack Hunt - 3

Wasn't at it at all, all night in a defence that was just shocking generally. Simply couldn't get to grips with Sunderland's attack

3. Liam Palmer - 3

Went off early with an injury and was replaced by Brennan. Looked slow in trying to hold the Owls line in defence when he was on.
