Garry Monk made eight changes to the side that drew to Fulham at the weekend and in the early stages it showed before a more fluent Owls showing from the half-hour mark.
But who were the bright sparks as they crashed out of the League Cup? Let’s take a look at the player ratings from Hillsborough.

6. Jacob Murphy - 6
Bright in first half fits and starts, but ultimately wasteful. Off for Harris on the hour. Photo: Fred Lee
7. Massimo Luongo - 7
Furthered his case for a league starting berth. Showed energy and the ability to break up play. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Joey Pelupessy - 6
A passenger, but not awful. If his job is to wrestle control of matches with his passing, Pelupessy is yet to do so this season. Photo: Pete Norton
