The Owls, who made three changes to their side and offered first league starts of the season to Massimo Luongo and Joey Pelupessy, won out thanks to Luongo’s first Wednesday goal.
But who were the stars and who was sluggish? Let’s take a look at our player ratings from Hillsborough.
9. Massimo Luongo - 7
Marked his first Owls start in the league with a well-taken goal and was lively at times. Some passes went astray but he'll be more than happy with his outing. Photo: Steve Ellis
10. Adam Reach - 6
A really mixed afternoon for Reach, who produced some passes of real quality among heavy touches and mistimed runs. Photo: Simon Cooper
11. Steven Fletcher - 6
Could have had a goal but for a close call offside. Led the line dilligently as ever but lost out to Charlie Mulgrew on a number of occasions. Battled hard. Photo: Steve Ellis
