The two sides played out a ding-dong second half in which they both looked to win the game. And it was the Owls that did so, Anthony Musaba poking Charles through to send the away end into chaos and his side towards a deserved away win.
It serves as a mark of character for Wednesday, who has less preparation time, more travel time after their midweek draw at Bristol City. Coming from behind after Jack Rudoni’s opener, Djeidi Gassama produced a classy strike back to level the scored before that late, late drama.
The win elevates Wednesday into 15th place in the table with 11 points heading into the international break. Here are our ratings from a barn-storming encounter in the Midlands.
9. Svante Ingelsson - 7
Played an important role both in and out of possession. Ran and ran. Looks a really handy addition. Lost the ball a couple of times. Off after the hour. | UGC
10. Djeidi Gassama - 8
Silky, swanky, sassy. Drew so many fouls in that first half it was tantamount to playground bullying. Finished his goal with huge confidence and deserved his goal. | UGC
11. Jamal Lowe - 7
A bundle of energy. Could have done better with two opportunities with the ball in the box but pounced to lay off for Gassama and grab an assist. Off on the hour for Ugbo. | UGC
12. Iké Ugbo - 7
A surprise exclusion from the off, he was brought on with half an hour to run. Produced a couple of really nice touches and did his bit. | UGC
