Goals from Bannan and Lee Gregory either side of a remarkable double save from Bailey Peacock-Farrell to keep out Chris Porter after a penalty secured the victory at Gresty Road, with Wednesday moving up to seventh place in League One.
It was a professional, no frills, performance for the most part – and a deserving three points.
Here’s how we rated the Owls players after this afternoon’s encounter:
5. Liam Palmer - 7
Another tidy performance from one of Wednesday’s most consistent players this season. Did nothing spectacular, but was a steady performer as he played his part in another clean sheet. Photo: Steve Ellis
6. Marvin Johnson - 7
Can’t fault the experienced attacker’s contribution – even whilst playing in a very unfamiliar position at left centre back. Solid. Photo: Steve Ellis
7. Theo Corbeanu - 7
Was a tremendous threat in the first half, and caused some real problems for Crewe. He did seem to tire as the game went on, but he’ll be pleased with what he brought to the side. Photo: George Wood
8. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru - 7
The midfielder put in a really good shift in the centre of the park, ran his socks off and showed his strength on a number of occasions. Hardly put a foot wrong. Photo: Steve Ellis
