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:
