Sheffield Wednesday v Barnsley: Owls chasing in disappointing performance
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls were beaten 2-1 the last time the Tykes came to town, however that was the only defeat they’d suffered at the hands of their local rivals since the start of 2010 – they’ve got a pretty good record, you could say.
Wednesday’s home form has been exceptional of late as they look to power their way up the League One table, and a victory this afternoon – if other results go their way – could see them sitting pretty at the top of the league by the time the weekend is done.

All over
2-0 it ends to Barnsley, who were full value for their victory. Wednesday not at the races, and the Owls are left to lick their wounds after their first home defeat of the season.
Fisticuffs
Smith tries to break, but he’s dragged back multiple times by Wolfe... Smith not happy, and the two square up before basically the whole team gets involved. It’s settled in the end with a card for both.
It’s game over now. James Norwood with his first touch, powers home a header after getting up highest in the Owls box. No coming back from that.
Brilliant stop
Superb save from close-range from Stockdale. That would’ve been game set and match. The keeper gets a strong leg to it though, and it’s kept out.
