and live on Freeview channel 276
Third-placed Leeds knww that a victory would send them back into the division’s automatic promotion spots and a point above Ipswich Town who then visit Cardiff City on Saturday lunchtime. But Danny Rohl’s second-bottom Owls had won five of their last six and even a point would have taken them out of the Championship’s drop zone. A win for the hosts would have sent them up seven places to 16th.
Here is a recap of the night’s events and post-match reaction.
Sheffield Wednesday 0 Leeds United 2 recap and reaction
Key Events
- 8pm kick-off at Hillsborough
- Victory would send Leeds back into second
- Second-bottom Owls have won five of last six
Another chance
18: Corner cleared and shot from the edge of the box flies over, Gassama with the deflected effort that flew past the post.
Not happening
20: For Gnonto so far, high pass from Gruev to him is behind for a throw as he cannot keep it in
CHANCE WEDNESDAY
20: Ampadu with another important block and clearance to keep out Musaba's attempt. Not great this from Leeds so far
Too easy
22: For Wednesday to get through the middle of the Leeds midfield at the moment and Firpo having a troubled time of things at left back
Good ball
23: From Kamara to Bamford down the left side of the box, Bamford tries to turn inside and ends up on the deck holding his face but nothing in that and attack ends.
Another move comes to nothing
26: Floated pass from Ampadu to Rutter is not controlled and behind for a goal kick
Chance gone
27: Bamford is in but takes too long to shoot, Wednesday recover and Bamford then judged to have fouled in trying to win the ball back.
