Here’s how we rated the Owls players...

Latched onto Hector's long ball on the left to set Gary Hooper up with a tap in for Wednesday's opener. Saw a decent effort go wide via a deflection in the second half after playing triangles with Hooper and Fletcher. Photo: JP

Hardworking and agile as ever on his return from injury. Didn't look like he had missed a minute of football as he turned Villa's defence inside out. Won a penalty in the second half but saw his spot kick saved by Steer. Photo: JP

Marked his Hillsborough return with a first half tap-in after George Boyd's squared ball. Got stuck into a physical battle with Hause and Mings and was key in his link up play in the second half. Photo: Chris Etchells
12. Sheffield Wednesday v Rotherham
A 39th minute sub for the injured Dominic Iorfa. Returned at left-back and was defensively strong, but lacked the cutting edge on the attack. Photo: Steve Ellis
