From the moment Anthony Musaba clawed open a match barren of quality to open with his twisting, turning assist for Ike Ugbo to the bucket loads of blood and guts shown in the second half, it was a classic away performance and one of the best delivered by a Sheffield Wednesday side in a good few seasons.
Ugbo and Musaba himself got the goals, but there were performances of quality all over the field as Wednesday beat Millwall 2-0 in a red-hot atmosphere. It injects new life into a survival battle many believed would have died had they tasted defeat.
