The Owls face Newcastle United’s U21s this evening in a 7pm kick off as their Papa John’s Trophy campaign gets underway at Hillsborough, with Darren Moore expected to make a number of changes to the side that was surprisingly beaten 1-0 by Morecambe over the weekend.

Many eyes will be elsewhere as the football world watches the end of the European transfer window unfold, but if you’re interested in what happens when Wednesday face Newcastle’s youngsters then you’re in the right place.

Easy breezy, really...

Wednesday were in cruise-control really, as they should be against such a young Newcastle side.

But they still got the job done in a professional manner and approached the game with the right attitude. Sow, Johnson and Palmer with the goals.

That’s a wrap for tonight. Thanks for tuning in.

Just a couple of minutes left here

Langley drops the cross and FDB manages to get onto the end of the dropped ball... His shot is blocked though.

And it’s Palmer who pops up again! He brought it down very nicely and rifled an effort at goal - sadly it crashes the top of the crossbar and heads over. So close to being four.

On comes Hunt for Iorfa.

Wilson fires over after some nice work down the right for the Toon. A bit of a wake-up for Wednesday, that.

Adeniran gets a standing ovation as Byers heads into the fray.

And now it’s three!

An unlikely goalscorer as Palmer calmly slots past Langley... It did hit both posts on the way in though!
