A relieved Sheffield Wednesday - spent from a huge defensive effort in the final 10 or 15 minutes - earned three points at the Memorial Stadium having had everything thrown at them by Bristol Rovers.
Goals from Barry Bannan and Akin Famewo - who went off injured early in the second half - were enough to seal the deal for the Owls’ first win on the road in five weeks.
Here are our ratings from a chilly Bristol.
5. Liam Palmer - 7
Killed a dangerous-looking Gas attack on 19 minutes, sliding in as the last man. Played high up the pitch for long periods of the first half and then slotted back in as left centre-half after Famewo’s injury. Had plenty of the ball and used it well. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
6. Dennis Adeniran - 6
From an acute angle, he took on an early shot across the body of Gas stopper Belshaw but it was easily saved down low. For the most part struggled to get in the game in the first half. Shifted out wide in the post-Famewo shuffle and was sound enough, winning some important headers in the late scrap. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
7. Will Vaulks - 7
Got a couple of tackles in the bag early doors and though he wasn’t exactly at his destroying best, Vaulks was assured throughout, doing the simple things well. Made three key passes, defendad diligently late one and was tidy on the ball. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
8. Barry Bannan - 7
His early through-ball to release Johnson was a bit of lovely - and it was a mere precursor for the 29th-minute finish that set Wednesday on their way; a picture of composure and beautifully struck. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
