Watch Sheffield Wednesday's goals v Sunderland as they avoid the drop

Sheffield Wednesday won 2-0 at Sunderland thanks to excellent goals from Liam Palmer and Josh Windass.

A point at the Stadium of Light this afternoon would have been enough to complete the most unlikely of great escapes after what was a horror start to the campaign months ago, and even in defeat they would only have be relegated if both Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle won their games against Norwich City and Hull City respectively. They did - but thankfully Wednesday got their job done, too.

Danny Röhl made it clear in the build-up to the game that he wouldn’t be sitting back and settling for the point they need, instead going for all three against the Black Cats, and he got it spot on as they secured their Championship status in Wearside.
