The Owls put in an excellent performance in the first half as they went away to the former Premier League outfit, and they took the lead in the second half thanks to an excellent Barry Bannan strike - they thought they were en route to victory, and it would have been deserved.
But Di’Shon Bernard was adjudged - contentiously - to have handballed in the box, a penalty was given and Carlton Morris scored from the spot to level up before bundling home a second that gave the hosts all three points. Wednesday deserved more, and should be buoyed by how they performed.
Here’s how we rated the Owls after their bitter afternoon in the capital:
5. Akin Famewo - 8
A very strong showing from the defender, who was immaculate in the first half and very good in the second. One of his strongest outings in a Wednesday shirt. | UGC / Steve Ellis
6. Marvin Johnson - 7
Another player who impressed against QPR, and it didn't disappoint after keeping his place for this one either. Was good defensively, and got forward when he could. | UGC
7. Barry Bannan - 8
Was heavily involved in the first half, picking out some lovely passes and having a big influence on matters. His biggest moment came early in the second half, though, with a stupendous volley to make it 1-0. Was taken off just after an hour. | UGC
8. Shea Charles - 8
A really combative display from the midfielder in the centre of the park for Wednesday. Had a bit of everything to his game and played a huge part in the performance. | SWFC / UGC
