5. Kadeem Harris - 6
Defended excellently and put in a couple of crosses of real quality early doors. Made one recovery tackle that sticks out in particular when Bournemouth were on the run. Sent off in what looked like peculiar circumstances. Photo: Steve Ellis
6. Joey Pelupessy - 8
His best performance in an Owls shirt for a long time. Made a number of excellent interceptions and toed the line expertly after a harsh yellow card. The Star's man of the match. Photo: Steve Ellis
7. Barry Bannan - 8
Delivery excellent in the second half. Stepped up when his team needed him - his ball for the penalty was truly world class. Deserved the winner. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Adam Reach - 6
Playing more centrally, Reach backed up his positive performance against Wycombe with a hard-working shift. Pressed the life out of Bournemouth in an energetic front three - a key feature in the result. Photo: Steve Ellis
