And it’s 2-0
Johnson gets off the mark for Wednesday as he strikes well with his left from a tight angle on the left side of the Newcastle box, and it ricochets in off the post. The Owls cruising now.
Another big save!
Langley with another big stop as a cross finds Sow in the box... It was offside in the end, but still a great close-range stop.
And that’s that for the first half.
Wednesday deservedly lead, and if we’re honest it should be much more than 1-0. The Owls have been wasteful, but they’ve done enough to be up at the break.
Wednesday lead!
You can’t say it wasn’t coming, and it’s Sow on his Wednesday debut. An attempted headed clearance from Newcastle falls at his feet, and he wasn’t missing that time. The Owls are ahead. 1-0.
What a stop!
Langley with a top, top save to keep out a placed volley from Corbeanu... Should have been 1-0, but that’s great goalkeeping.
Another chance, another chance missed. Kamberi broke the Newcastle backline, but after FDB’s pass found him his effort beat the keeper but not the woodwork.
