Read Johnson, Atdhe Nuhiu, Connor Wickham and Chris Maguire had got the Owls 4-0 up and cruising against their Yorkshire rivals, before Caolan Lavery came on to bag a brace and add insult to injury.
We look back at the 14 players that featured at Hillsborough on this day in 2014, and asked the question – where are they now?
5. Liam Palmer
Still going strong at Sheffield Wednesday, and keeps racking up appearances for his boyhood club. The only remaining member of the matchday squad. Photo: Anna Gowthorpe
6. Jacques Maghoma
Maghoma recently left British shores for the Indian Super League with SC East Bengal. He's got three goals in 10 games so far this year. Photo: SCC
7. Jose Semedo
It was an amazing birthday present for him, winning 6-0... Still fondly remembered at Hillsborogh, Semedo currently plays for Vitoria Setubal in Portugal and has played seven times this year. He's now 36. Photo: Anna Gowthorpe
8. Kieran Lee
Lee was quite new to the club back then, and his best years in a Wednesday shirt were yet to come. Now though, he's on the brink of a return to action with Bolton Wanderers in League Two after leaving the Owls at the end of last season. Photo: Anna Gowthorpe
