Despite taking the lead through Jamal Lowe, who forced his way through a crowded penalty area to prod the ball past Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur, Wednesday’s joy was short lived.
Less than 60 seconds after the restart, Matt Crooks squared the game, tapping home Kyle Joseph’s low cross. The Tigers then completed the turnaround right on the stroke of half-time when Dominic Iorfa headed a free-kick into his own net.
The home side made sure of the points after the restart when Joseph stroked home a cool finish from inside the penalty area to put the contest to bed.
Here is how The Star rated Wednesday’s players at the MKM Stadium:
5. Sean Fusire - 5
Up against a tricky customer in Hull winger Liam Millar, Fusire had his hands full from the first whistle. He tried to get forward when he could, getting some success in the second half, but his end product let him down. | UGC
6. Jarvis Thornton - 6
Banking a tenth Championship start of the season, Thornton was once again energetic in midfield. He went close to scoring his maiden Owls goal shortly before half-time, being denied by Ivor Pandur after being picked out by Svante Ingelsson. He was withdrawn after 63 minutes and was replaced by Charlie McNeill. | UGC

7. Jaden Heskey - 6
Benefitting from playing in a more advanced role, the Manchester City loanee produced another dogged and determined performance. He was energetic throughout, trying to link the midfield with the attack with his pace and running power. | UGC
8. Tayo Adaramola - 5
The Crystal Palace loanee was not as adventurous as he has been in recent weeks, struggling to get into his stride on Wednesday's left flank. He gave the ball away in the build-up to Hull's third goal and was substituted five minutes later, being replaced by Max Lowe. | UGC
