Spot on Sheffield Wednesday player ratings as Leeds United are humbled by Owls kids at Hillsborough

Sheffield Wednesday stunned Leeds United with a remarkable Carabao Cup victory at Hillsborough on penalties

In one of the strangest nights at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday’s young and hugely inexperienced side saw off Leeds United on penalties to book their place in the next round of the Carabao Cup.

Jamal Lowe had the Owls in front before former Blade Jayden Bogle equalised late on for a Leeds side who were abysmal throughout, though Wednesday’s young guns played a major role in that.

New goalkeeper Ethan Horvath was the spot kick hero, saving twice in the shootout to help Wednesday through on a remarkable evening in front of just 7.801 in attandance.
