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.
9. Marvin Johnson - 6
Beaten on his inside one a couple of occasions early doors but quickly made up for it, offering a vital intervention to prevent Hoole from countering. Going forward? Far from his best on the crossing front. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
10. Lee Gregory - 6
Though his running and positioning was there as per, he didn’t have a great deal of involvement early doors until he sprung into life on 29 minutes, collecting confidently and pushing the ball across for Bannan to slot into the corner. Could have maybe pulled the trigger on a 55th-minute chance earlier and was crowded out. Off for Paterson with 25 left. Photo: UGC/SWFC
11. Michael Smith - 6
Couldn’t quite produce a deft enough touch when he rounded Belshaw on 13 minutes and received a petty yellow card not long after. Generally quite an angry man but channelled it into some bustling running. Dirty work done - but he could’ve been sharper with a couple of half-chances. Photo: UGC
12. Tyreeq Bakinson - 6
On for the injured Famewo in a shuffle-up. Got some decent touches under his belt early and did OK - though he has to be braver on the ball. Photo: UGC/Steve Ellis
