Burton Albion 1 Sheffield Wednesday 0: Latest score from Owls
But they were without Tom Lees, and fellow centre-half Glenn Loovens, meaning midfielders Jose Semedo and Sam Hutchinson were paired together at the back.
And the depleted Owls were caught lacking at the back in the seventh minute when Kyle McFadzean tapped home.
