Sheffield Wednesday 2 Wigan 1: Forestieri caps Owls fightback

The Owls had an early chance when Fernando Forestieri creeped in behind the Wigan defence, but referee David Coote waved away penalty appeals as the striker went to ground under a challenge.

But it was Wigan who took the lead in the opening minutes. Poor defensive work allowed the ball to go wide, and the cross was whipped in by Irish striker Will Grigg.

With 20 minutes on the clock, Wednesday were struggling to get the better of Wigan’s five-man midfield.

When Ross Wallace found space, his far-post cross was cleared before Steven Fletcher could get his header in.

But the Owls were level when Steven Fletcher turned his marker, before nudging the ball beyond Adam Bogdan.

In the second half, Wednesday took control and Fletcher saw his header hit the crossbar before the hosts went in front.

Forestieri stroked the ball home from a narrow angle before Gary Hooper was denied from an overhead kick.
