Both sides were on unbeaten runs heading into the game, despite being at different ends of the table, but it was the Whites that came out on top thanks to goals from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto either side of the break.
Wednesday gave as good as they got for large periods, but ultimately the visitors' quality shone through as they moved up to second place.
Here's how we rated the Owls on a difficult evening:
9. Djeidi Gassama - 5
Came very, very close to opening the scoring in the first half and will possibly feel like he could've done better with his chance. Kept going in difficult circumstances. | UGC / Steve Ellis
10. Anthony Musaba - 5
Showed some good bits of attacking intent and got Wednesday up the pitch on occasion. had a decent chance in the first half too, but his work in the final third just let him down. | UGC / Steve Ellis
11. Iké Ugbo - 6
Had a tough time of it up top as he led the line for Wednesday, but continued to pose a threat whenever the ball came his way and his work ethic never slowed. | UGC / Steve Ellis
12. Michael Smith - 6
Put in a good shift after coming on, and came very close to getting them back into it - unfortunately his goalward effort was cleared off the line. | UGC / Getty Images
