Sheffield Wednesday came through a bad-tempered evening to win 2-1 at Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday.

A flashpoint at half-time of Sheffield Wednesday’s 2-1 away win at Wycombe Wanderers was sparked by a ‘sense of injustice’, according to a senior Chairboys figure.

The home side were left aggrieved by a handful of refereeing decisions on a night that saw them have a goal disallowed and what looked to be a reasonable penalty shout turned down. The penalty Jamal Lowe scored on the stroke of half-time also received fierce protestations with Cauley Woodrow having been adjudged to have fouled Owls midfielder Callum Slattery - with tempers spilling over beyond the whistle for the break.

Woodrow approached Slattery angrily as the two teams headed towards the tunnel, a coming-together that resulted in a melee between both camps. including some backroom staff. Wycombe boss Michael Duff finished the evening sent off after an incident after the final whistle and so had to hand over his media commitments to assistant Alex Morris.

“Their penalty is not a penalty. It's just not a penalty,” he said. “He [Slattery] is on his way down before he even gets close to Cauley. He doesn't make any contact with him.”

On the reaction of Woodrow towards Slattery and the coming-together that followed, he continued: “I've not seen him lose his temper in all the time I've been here and that's pushing a year now,” he said. “He's very level and he's very composed. He sensed an injustice and he knew that was ultimately going to have a big impact on the game.

“He had a really good game tonight as well,” Morris said on a player that opened the scoring for the home side before Wednesday roared back through Louie Barry and that Lowe spot kick. “So, to be pulled up for something around the box was disappointing. He knew it was going to affect the result. In our opinion, it's not a penalty. All the video evidence from every angle that we've looked at would suggest it wasn't.”
